What defines a 'prohibited possessor' of firearms in Arizona?

  1. Anyone without a CWP

  2. Felons, anyone adjudicated mentally incompetent

  3. Non-residents

  4. Minors under the age of 18

The correct answer is: Felons, anyone adjudicated mentally incompetent

In Arizona, a 'prohibited possessor' of firearms is defined as felons and anyone adjudicated mentally incompetent. This means individuals who have been convicted of a felony or have been found mentally incompetent by a court are not allowed to possess firearms. It is crucial to understand and adhere to these restrictions to ensure the safe and responsible use of firearms in Arizona. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because possession of firearms by individuals without a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP), non-residents, or minors under the age of 18 are not the sole criteria that define 'prohibited possessors' under Arizona law. The key factors are felony convictions and being adjudicated mentally incompetent.
