What is the minimum age requirement to purchase a handgun in Rhode Island?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. No minimum age requirement

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age requirement to purchase a handgun in Rhode Island is actually 21 years old. This means that to legally purchase a handgun in this state, you must be at least 21 years old. Option A is incorrect because even though it is a legal age to purchase a handgun in some states, it is not the minimum age requirement in Rhode Island. Option C is also incorrect because while it is a legal age to purchase a handgun in some other states, it is not the minimum age requirement in Rhode Island either. Option D is not correct because there is a minimum age requirement in Rhode Island, as stated in the correct answer of 21 years old.
