What is the minimum age to legally own a handgun in Louisiana?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. There is no minimum age

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Louisiana, the minimum age to legally own a handgun is 18 years old. This is because a person must be at least 18 years old to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer. Option B, 21 years old, is incorrect as it is the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a federally licensed dealer. Option C, 16 years old, is incorrect as it does not meet the legal age requirement for purchasing a firearm. Option D, there is no minimum age, is also incorrect as there is a minimum age set by Louisiana state law.
