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

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

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Louisiana, the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun without supervision is 18 years old. At this age, individuals are legally allowed to own a handgun and carry it for self-defense or other lawful purposes within the state. It is essential for individuals to familiarize themselves with the specific laws and regulations regarding firearms in Louisiana to ensure they are in compliance and responsible gun owners. The other options are incorrect because: - Option B (21 years old) is commonly the age requirement for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer under federal law, but in Louisiana, the minimum age for possession and transportation without supervision is 18 years old. - Option C (16 years old) is too young to possess and transport a handgun without supervision in Louisiana. - Option D (25 years old) exceeds the minimum age required for possessing and transporting a handgun without supervision in Louisiana.
