What is the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in West Virginia without supervision?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In West Virginia, the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun without supervision is 21 years old. This law was put into place to ensure the responsible use and handling of firearms. Option A, 18 years old, is not correct because it is the minimum age to obtain a concealed carry permit, but not to possess and transport a handgun without supervision. Option C, 16 years old, is also incorrect as it falls under the minimum age for a hunting license and does not apply to handguns. Option D, 25 years old, is also incorrect as it is above the legal voting and drinking age, but not related to the possession and transport of handguns.
