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

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Mississippi, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21 years old. This is because the state law requires individuals to be at least 21 years old to possess a handgun. Option A, 18 years old, may be a common minimum age for purchasing other types of firearms, but it is not the case for handguns in Mississippi. Option C, 16 years old, is too young as it does not meet the legal requirement of the state. Option D, 25 years old, is too old and does not align with the law. Therefore, the most accurate answer is option B.
