New Mexico Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

While options A, B, and D all state that it is not allowed for individuals under 19 years old to possess a handgun in New Mexico, option C is the correct answer because it specifies that there are exceptions for hunting and sporting purposes. A is incorrect because parental supervision does not change the legal age for handgun possession. B is incorrect because it's a blanket statement that does not mention any exceptions. D is incorrect because it only mentions an exception for military personnel, while option C covers a broader range of exceptions.
