At what age can an individual legally purchase a shotgun or rifle in New Mexico?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old with parental consent

  4. No age limit with parental consent

The correct answer is: 18 years old

An individual must be 18 years old in order to legally purchase a shotgun or rifle in New Mexico. Option B is incorrect because it states the age of 21, which is the legal age to purchase a handgun in New Mexico, but not a shotgun or rifle. Option C is incorrect because although 16 years old is the legal age to possess a shotgun or rifle in New Mexico with parental consent, it does not specify that this applies to the purchasing of a firearm. Option D is incorrect because there is a minimum age limit of 18 years old for purchasing a shotgun or rifle, even with parental consent.
