In Mississippi, what is the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun without supervision?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

Mississippi law requires individuals to be at least 21 years old to possess and transport a handgun without supervision. Option A is incorrect because 18 years old is the minimum age to possess and transport a rifle or shotgun without supervision. Option C is incorrect because 16 years old is the minimum age to possess a handgun, but it must be owned by the individual's parent or guardian. Option D is incorrect because there is no minimum age requirement to possess and transport a handgun with supervision, but 25 years old is the age requirement to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer.
