Nebraska Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

What is the minimum age to possess a handgun in Nebraska without direct supervision?

1. 18 years old

2. 21 years old

3. 16 years old

4. 19 years old

The correct answer is: 18 years old

Explanation In Nebraska, the minimum age to possess a handgun without direct supervision is 18 years old. This means that individuals must be at least 18 years old to purchase or possess a handgun without a parent, guardian, or instructor present. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all state ages that are above or below the minimum age requirement of 18. Additionally, option B may be a common misconception due to the fact that the drinking age in Nebraska is 21. However, this does not apply to the possession of firearms. Option C is incorrect as it is below the minimum age requirement, and option D is incorrect as it is above the minimum age requirement.
