What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun in New Jersey?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. No minimum age

The correct answer is: 21 years old

New Jersey state law requires individuals to be at least 21 years old in order to purchase a handgun. This is because handguns are considered to be more dangerous weapons and therefore have a higher minimum age requirement. Option A may be incorrect because 18 years old is the minimum age to purchase a long gun in New Jersey, not a handgun. Option C may be incorrect because there is no evidence or law stating that the minimum age to purchase a handgun in New Jersey is 25 years old. Option D may be incorrect because it goes against the state law and common sense to allow individuals of any age to purchase a handgun.
