What is the minimum age to possess a handgun in Massachusetts with an FID?

18
21
25
There is no age limit with parental consent

The correct answer is: 21

In Massachusetts, a person must be 21 years old to possess a handgun with a Firearm Identification (FID) card. This means that options A, C, and D are incorrect. Option A suggests that the minimum age is 18, which is generally the minimum age to purchase a rifle or shotgun in the state. Option C suggests a minimum age of 25, which is not mentioned in the state's laws. Option D mentions parental consent, but in Massachusetts, a person must still be 21 to possess a handgun even with parental consent. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
