What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a federally licensed dealer in Rhode Island?

18 years old
21 years old
25 years old
There is no age requirement

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age to purchase a handgun from a federally licensed dealer in Rhode Island is 21 years old. Option A is incorrect because 18 years old is the minimum age requirement for purchasing a rifle or shotgun from a federally licensed dealer in Rhode Island, but not for purchasing a handgun. Option C is incorrect because there is no specific age requirement of 25 years old for purchasing a handgun in Rhode Island. Option D is incorrect because although it is legal to purchase private firearms in Rhode Island without any age restrictions, this does not apply to purchasing from a federally licensed dealer.
