What is the age requirement to purchase a rifle in Kansas?

  1. 18 years or older

  2. 21 years or older

  3. 16 years or older

  4. There is no age requirement

The correct answer is: 18 years or older

In Kansas, the legal age requirement to purchase a rifle is indeed 18 years or older. This reflects the state's alignment with federal laws, which also set the minimum age for purchasing long guns, including rifles, at 18. It's important to note that this age requirement is specifically for the purchase of rifles; different regulations do apply to handguns, which typically require the buyer to be at least 21 years old. Having a clear understanding of these age requirements is crucial for ensuring compliance with the law. Responsible gun ownership includes being aware of the legal parameters around firearm purchases to promote safety and adherence to regulations.
