What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Iowa?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 19 years old

  3. 21 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Iowa is 21 years old, as stated in Iowa Code Section 724.22. Option A, 18 years old, is the minimum age requirement to purchase a long gun in Iowa. Option B, 19 years old, is not a minimum age requirement for purchasing a handgun in Iowa. Option D, 25 years old, is not a relevant age in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
