At what age can an individual legally apply for a concealed handgun carry license in Arkansas?

18 years old
21 years old
25 years old
There is no age restriction as long as the individual is an adult

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Arkansas, the legal age to apply for a concealed handgun carry license is 21 years old. This requirement aligns with federal law, which sets the minimum age for purchasing handguns from a licensed dealer at 21. By establishing this age requirement, Arkansas aims to ensure that individuals applying for a concealed carry license have reached a level of maturity and legal accountability expected of adults. While 18 is the age at which an individual can legally own a firearm in Arkansas, the specific stipulation for a concealed carry license necessitates that applicants be at least 21. There is no provision for individuals under that age to apply, even if they are legally permitted to possess a firearm.
