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

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 14 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In New Mexico, the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun without supervision is 21 years old. This is based on the state's minimum age for purchasing a handgun, which is also 21 years old. Option A (18 years old) and Option C (16 years old) are incorrect because they do not meet the state's minimum age requirement. Option D (14 years old) is also incorrect because it is too young to legally possess or transport a handgun. It is important to follow state laws and regulations regarding the possession and transportation of firearms to ensure safety and legality.
