Is open carry of firearms legal in Arizona?

  1. Yes, without any permit

  2. Yes, but with a permit

  3. No

  4. Only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

Open carry of firearms is indeed legal in Arizona without the need for a permit. This reflects the state’s recognition of an individual’s right to bear arms as provided by both state law and the Second Amendment. Arizona law allows individuals who are at least 18 years of age to openly carry a firearm in public areas without requiring a permit or any additional documentation. This law emphasizes the state's permissive stance towards gun ownership and the right to carry firearms for personal protection or recreational purposes. While there may be restrictions regarding where firearms can be carried (such as schools or government buildings), the open carry aspect itself does not necessitate a permit in Arizona. Other choices present varying conditions that do not align with Arizona's current legal framework regarding open carry, which is straightforwardly permitted for adults in most public spaces.
