What is the age requirement for possessing a handgun in Montana without parental supervision?

  1. 16 years old

  2. 18 years old

  3. 21 years old

  4. There is no age requirement

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Montana, the legal age to possess a handgun without parental supervision is indeed 18 years old. This aligns with both federal and state regulations regarding firearm possession and ownership. At 18, individuals are considered adults under most legal circumstances, allowing them to handle firearms independently, which includes handguns. This age requirement ensures that individuals who are legally allowed to possess handguns have reached a maturity level that is recognized for the responsibilities that come with ownership, such as understanding the safety practices and legal obligations associated with firearms.
