What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun in Wyoming?

  1. 18

  2. 19

  3. 21

  4. 25

The correct answer is: 21

In Wyoming, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21 years old. This age requirement is in line with federal law, which sets 21 as the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed firearms dealer. It is important for individuals to be aware of and comply with these age restrictions to ensure legal and responsible firearm ownership. Option A (18) is incorrect because 18 is the minimum age to purchase a rifle or shotgun from a licensed firearms dealer, not a handgun. Option B (19) is also incorrect as the minimum age for purchasing a handgun in Wyoming is 21. Option D (25) is incorrect as well, as it is not the minimum age requirement for purchasing a handgun in Wyoming.
