In Arizona, where is it illegal to carry a firearm?

  1. Public parks

  2. Restaurants serving alcohol

  3. School grounds

  4. Private vehicles

The correct answer is: School grounds

Carrying a firearm on school grounds is illegal in Arizona due to specific regulations aimed at protecting students and staff within educational environments. Arizona law prohibits firearms on the premises of schools, which includes the grounds of public and charter schools. This regulation is in place to ensure a safe learning environment and to prevent potential incidents involving firearms in academic settings. In contrast, the other locations mentioned have regulations that allow for certain conditions under which firearms may be carried. For instance, Arizona permits carrying firearms in public parks and has specific restrictions around carrying in establishments that serve alcohol, typically requiring that the firearm is not consumed with or adjacent to alcohol. When it comes to private vehicles, individuals can legally possess firearms in their cars, provided they comply with the relevant laws regarding concealment and transport. This distinction underscores the focused legal protections surrounding schools as sensitive areas where firearms should not be present.
