At what age can an individual legally own a handgun in Kansas?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Kansas, an individual can legally own a handgun at the age of 18. This aligns with both state and federal laws, which permit individuals who are 18 years and older to purchase and possess handguns. It is important to note that while 18 is the legal age for ownership, there are additional regulations and considerations regarding carrying and purchasing from licensed dealers that might require individuals to be at least 21 years old, especially when it comes to concealed carry permits. Understanding these age-specific laws is essential for responsible firearms ownership and usage.
