What is the minimum age to apply for a firearm registration certificate in D.C?

18 years
21 years
25 years
30 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In D.C, the minimum age to apply for a firearm registration certificate is 21 years. This is because according to the D.C Code § 7-2502.03, individuals must be at least 21 years of age to legally possess a firearm in the District of Columbia. Option A (18 years) is incorrect because it is below the legal age requirement. Option C (25 years) and D (30 years) are also incorrect as they are above the legal age requirement. It is important to note that some states may have different age requirements for firearm registration, so it is important to check the specific laws in the state where the registration is being sought.
