What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a Firearms Identification Card for non-large capacity rifles and shotguns in Massachusetts?

15 years
18 years
21 years
14 years

The correct answer is: 18 years

The minimum age requirement to apply for a Firearms Identification Card (FID) for non-large capacity rifles and shotguns in Massachusetts is 18 years. This law reflects the state's efforts to ensure that individuals who are applying for firearms permits have reached an age where they can be held legally responsible for their actions. At this age, individuals are considered to have the maturity and responsibility necessary to handle firearms safely. While younger individuals may have the opportunity to be involved in firearm activities under parental supervision, the legal threshold for applying for an FID is set at 18 to promote safety and accountability within the framework of firearm regulations.
