What is the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in Kansas without supervision?

The correct answer is: 21

The minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in Kansas without supervision is 21 years old. This regulation reflects the state's emphasis on ensuring that individuals who possess handguns are legally recognized as adults, capable of responsible decision-making and understanding the legal implications of firearm ownership. While individuals under 21 can possess handguns under certain conditions, such as if they are supervised by a qualified adult, the general rule stands firm at 21 for unsupervised possession and transport. This age requirement aligns with both state and federal laws, which consider 21 to be a critical threshold for independence in firearm ownership. Understanding this law is crucial for anyone studying Kansas gun regulations and highlights the importance of compliance for safe firearm handling.
