What is the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in Arizona?

18 years old
21 years old
16 years old with parental supervision
There is no minimum age

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in Arizona is indeed 21 years old. This regulation aligns with both state and federal laws, which dictate that individuals must be at least 21 to legally purchase a handgun. While younger individuals, specifically those aged 18 and above, can possess long guns (rifles and shotguns) under certain conditions, the law is stricter concerning handguns due to the higher potential for misuse or illegal activity associated with them. The other options do not reflect Arizona law accurately; individuals younger than 21 cannot possess or transport a handgun, and allowing firearms possession at age 16 with parental supervision is not in compliance with state regulations. Similarly, stating there is no minimum age would disregard the legal restrictions that are in place to help ensure public safety.
