What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Rhode Island?

18 years old
21 years old
16 years old
25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

According to Rhode Island state law, individuals must be at least 21 years old to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer. This is because the state recognizes the age of 21 as the legal age for being a responsible and mature adult. The other options listed, such as 18, 16, and 25, are either too young or too old to be considered legally responsible for purchasing a firearm. Additionally, 25 years old is not a commonly accepted legal age for purchasing a handgun in any state. Therefore, the correct option is B 21 years old.
