What is the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in Arkansas, without accompanying 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 Arkansas, individuals must be 18 years old to possess and transport a handgun without accompanying supervision. This demonstrates respect for the gravity and seriousness of owning a firearm, and acknowledges that younger individuals may not have the necessary maturity and responsibility to handle a handgun safely. Option B, 21 years old, is incorrect because it is the minimum age for purchasing a handgun from a dealer without parental consent. Option C, 16 years old, and option D, 14 years old, are incorrect as they are too young to legally possess and transport a handgun, even with accompanying supervision. Therefore, the minimum age for possession and transportation without supervision in Arkansas is 18 years old.
