What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a concealed carry permit in D.C.?

  1. 18

  2. 21

  3. 25

  4. 30

The correct answer is: 21

In D.C., the minimum age requirement to apply for a concealed carry permit is 21. This is because individuals under the age of 21 are considered minors and may not possess handguns in the District of Columbia. It is important for individuals to be of legal age to responsibly apply for and carry a concealed weapon. Option A (18) is incorrect because individuals under the age of 21 are not eligible to apply for a concealed carry permit in D.C. Options C (25) and D (30) are also incorrect as they exceed the minimum age requirement set by D.C. law for obtaining a concealed carry permit.
