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

  1. 18

  2. 21

  3. 25

  4. 30

The correct answer is: 21

In Kansas, the minimum age to legally purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years old. This regulation aligns with federal law, which also establishes 21 as the minimum age for the purchase of handguns from licensed dealers. While individuals who are 18 years old can possess handguns under certain circumstances and may purchase rifles and shotguns, the specific age requirement for handguns ensures that purchases are made by adults who have reached a certain level of maturity and responsibility. Understanding this law is essential for both gun owners and those interested in firearms training and safety in Kansas.
