Question: 1 / 400

At what age can an individual legally purchase a shotgun or rifle in New Mexico?

18 years old

An individual must be 18 years old in order to legally purchase a shotgun or rifle in New Mexico. Option B is incorrect because it states the age of 21, which is the legal age to purchase a handgun in New Mexico, but not a shotgun or rifle. Option C is incorrect because although 16 years old is the legal age to possess a shotgun or rifle in New Mexico with parental consent, it does not specify that this applies to the purchasing of a firearm. Option D is incorrect because there is a minimum age limit of 18 years old for purchasing a shotgun or rifle, even with parental consent.
