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

18
21
25
There is no minimum age

The correct answer is: 21

In Kansas, the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years old. This regulation is consistent with federal law, which establishes that individuals must be at least 21 to buy handguns from federally licensed firearms dealers. This age restriction aims to promote responsible gun ownership and ensure that individuals purchasing handguns are mature enough to handle the responsibilities that accompany firearm ownership. While there are provisions that allow individuals aged 18 and older to possess handguns, such as through private transfers or for certain activities like hunting, the purchase from licensed dealers specifically requires the buyer to be at least 21. Understanding these age restrictions is crucial for compliance with the law and for promoting safe and responsible firearm ownership practices.
