What is the minimum age requirement to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Utah?

  1. 18 years

  2. 21 years

  3. 16 years

  4. 25 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In Utah, the minimum age requirement to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years. This age restriction is in accordance with state law and is intended to ensure that individuals purchasing handguns are of a legal age to do so responsibly. It is important for individuals to be aware of age requirements when it comes to purchasing firearms to promote safe and lawful gun ownership practices. Option A, which suggests 18 years, is incorrect as 18 is generally the age requirement to purchase a long gun (such as a rifle or shotgun) from a licensed dealer in Utah. Option C (16 years) and Option D (25 years) are not the correct minimum age requirements for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer in Utah.
