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

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

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Kansas is 21 years old. This requirement aligns with federal regulations, which set the same age criterion for handgun purchases. It is important to recognize that while individuals aged 18 can possess firearms and purchase long guns under certain conditions, handguns are restricted to those 21 and older when acquired from licensed dealers. This law is designed to help ensure that individuals who obtain handguns are of an age considered mature enough to handle the associated responsibilities and potential risks.
