What age must individuals be to legally possess and transport a handgun without supervision in Kansas?

21 years old
18 years old
16 years old
25 years old

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Kansas, individuals must be at least 18 years old to legally possess and transport a handgun without supervision. This means that they can purchase, own, and carry a handgun, but must follow all state and federal laws related to firearm possession. It's important to note that while individuals under the age of 18 may not legally possess or transport a handgun without adult supervision, they may be able to do so with a valid hunter education certificate or if participating in a firearm-related activity with adult permission. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they either do not fall within the legal age range or they are not supported by state laws. Option A is incorrect because it incorrectly states that individuals must be 21 years old, which is only true for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer. Option C is incorrect because 16 is too young to legally possess and transport a handgun without adult supervision. Option D is incorrect because 25 is not mentioned in state laws and is a considerably older age than the correct answer.
