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

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 14 years old

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Montana, individuals must be at least 18 years old to possess and transport a handgun without parental supervision. This age requirement is established to ensure that young adults have reached a level of maturity and responsibility deemed necessary for handling firearms safely. While minors may still be involved in firearm activities under specific conditions, such as under the supervision of a parent or guardian, the law emphasizes the importance of age when it comes to independent possession. This law aligns with many states' regulations, which often set the age for handgun possession and transport at 18 years as a way to promote safer practices and accountability among firearm owners.
