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

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. There is no minimum age

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Arkansas, the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun without supervision is 21 years old. This regulation ensures that individuals have reached a certain level of maturity and responsibility before handling a firearm on their own. It is important for gun safety and responsible ownership that individuals are adequately equipped to understand the laws and best practices surrounding firearm use. You may find that other age specifications in different contexts or for other types of firearms differ. For example, while individuals can possess certain long guns at 18, handguns specifically require a higher age limit for unsupervised handling, reflecting a more stringent approach to handgun ownership.
