What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun in New Mexico?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In New Mexico, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21 years old. Option A (18 years old) is the minimum age to purchase a long gun in New Mexico, not a handgun. Option C (16 years old) is the minimum age to possess a handgun in New Mexico, but not to purchase one. Option D (25 years old) is not a relevant option as it is above the minimum age of 21. Therefore, option B (21 years old) is the correct answer.
