What age must you be to apply for a concealed carry permit in DC?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. There is no age requirement

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Washington DC, you must be 21 years old to apply for a concealed carry permit. This age requirement is in line with federal regulations and is a common standard age for possessing a concealed carry permit in many states across the United States. Option A is incorrect because 18 years old is typically the age requirement for purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer, not for obtaining a concealed carry permit. Option C is incorrect because there is no such age requirement of 25 years old for applying for a concealed carry permit in DC. Option D is incorrect as there is indeed an age requirement for obtaining a concealed carry permit in DC.
