21 is the legal age of which you can start the process of buying a handgun and taking the course work necessary to concealed carry. 18 (most states, not sure about ct) years old and you can buy a shotgun for home protection.

However, as others have hinted at, this is a rather extreme solution. We live in one of the safest states in the country. Yes there are tough areas, but none so tough that awareness and street smarts won’t do better than a gun. Remember that escalation (brandishing or using a gun in this case) rarely helps a situation.
