Delaware Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

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

1. 18 years old

2. 21 years old

3. 16 years old

4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Delaware, the minimum age to legally possess and transport a handgun without supervision is 21 years old. Option A, 18 years old, is typically the legal age of adulthood, but it does not apply to the possession and transport of handguns in Delaware. Option C, 16 years old, is the minimum age for a minor to obtain a firearms identification card, but this only allows them to possess a rifle or shotgun, not a handgun. Option D, 25 years old, is not relevant to the minimum age requirement in Delaware. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
