I believe its 18. Not sure if that requires a parental consent or not. 21 without for sure. I'm sure someone else will chip in.

18 it is. The below listed codes are obviously not complete but it is enough to verify that you can carry at 18 years of age providing you complete the application process and are approved.

TITLE 11

§ 1441. License to carry concealed deadly weapons.

Yes you can carry a handgun at 18, however you may not purchase one until you are 21.
