What is the minimum age for someone to possess and transport a handgun in New Mexico without supervision?

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

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In New Mexico, the minimum age for someone to possess and transport a handgun without supervision is 18 years old. Option B is incorrect because 21 years old is the minimum age for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer, but not necessarily for possession and transportation. Option C is incorrect because 16 years old is not old enough according to New Mexico law. Option D is incorrect because 25 years old is too high of an age for possessing and transporting a handgun in New Mexico.
