What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun in South Carolina?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In South Carolina, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21 years old. Although some states allow individuals to purchase handguns at the age of 18, South Carolina requires individuals to be at least 21 years old. Additionally, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they list ages lower or higher than the minimum legal age in South Carolina.
