What is the minimum age requirement to possess and transport a handgun in Arkansas, 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 Arkansas, the minimum age requirement to possess and transport a handgun without supervision is 21 years old. This means that individuals under the age of 21 are not legally allowed to possess or transport a handgun unless they are accompanied by a qualified adult. Option A is incorrect because it states 18 years old, which is the minimum age requirement to purchase a handgun with a valid permit in Arkansas, but not to possess and transport without supervision. Option C is incorrect because while it is also a minimum age requirement of 16 years old for a person to possess a handgun in a private vehicle with the consent of a parent or guardian, it is not the minimum age requirement to possess and transport without supervision. Option D is incorrect because it suggests an even higher minimum age requirement of 25 years old, which is not currently recognized in Arkansas state law. Overall, the minimum age requirement to possess and transport a handgun in Arkansas without supervision is 21 years old.
