Can individuals under 19 years old possess a handgun in New Mexico?

  1. Yes, with parental supervision

  2. No, it's illegal for those under 19

  3. Yes, for hunting and sporting purposes

  4. No, except for military personnel

The correct answer is: Yes, for hunting and sporting purposes

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.
