What is the minimum age to possess a handgun in Montana without parental supervision?

18 years
21 years
16 years
25 years

The correct answer is: 18 years

In Montana, the law stipulates that an individual must be at least 18 years old to possess a handgun independently, without parental supervision. This age requirement is consistent with federal regulations regarding firearm possession, which also designate 18 as the minimum age for purchasing firearms. While there are exceptions and specific firearm regulations for younger individuals (such as possessing a handgun under parental supervision), the general legal standard for independent possession is set at 18 years. This regulatory framework is designed to ensure a balance between the rights of individuals to bear arms and the promotion of safe firearm practices within the community.
