What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun in New Mexico?

18 years old
19 years old
21 years old
25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In New Mexico, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21 years old. While 18 years old (option A) and 19 years old (option B) may be the legal age to purchase a rifle or shotgun, the age requirement for purchasing a handgun is higher. Option D, 25 years old, is above the minimum age requirement and is therefore incorrect.
