What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun in Nebraska?

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

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Nebraska, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is indeed 21 years old. This regulation aligns with federal law, which states that individuals must be at least 21 to buy a handgun from a licensed dealer. The rationale behind this age restriction includes considerations of maturity, responsibility, and the potential risks and consequences associated with firearm ownership. Options that represent ages younger than 21 do not meet the legal requirements established by both state and federal laws. This age minimum ensures that all individuals who purchase handguns have reached an age where they can be held to a higher level of accountability regarding the possession and use of firearms.
