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

  1. 18 years

  2. 21 years

  3. 25 years

  4. 30 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In South Carolina, the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years old, which is option B. Option A is incorrect because 18 years old is the minimum age to purchase a long gun, not a handgun. Option C and D are incorrect because they both exceed the minimum age requirement set by the state of South Carolina.
