What is the minimum age to possess a rifle or shotgun in Massachusetts?

  1. 15 years old

  2. 18 years old

  3. 21 years old

  4. No minimum age with supervision

The correct answer is: 18 years old

While each state has its own age restrictions and regulations for firearm possession, in Massachusetts, the minimum age for possession of a rifle or shotgun is 18 years old. Option A is incorrect because 15 years old is not the minimum age in Massachusetts. Option C is incorrect because 21 years old is the minimum age for purchasing a handgun in Massachusetts, but not for possession of a rifle or shotgun. Option D is incorrect because although state law allows minors to possess firearms with supervision for certain specific purposes, there is still a minimum age of 18 for possession of a rifle or shotgun without supervision.
