What is the minimum age to possess a firearm in Arizona?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. There is no minimum age

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Arizona, the law establishes that individuals must be at least 18 years old to legally possess a firearm. This aligns with federal law, which also sets 18 as the minimum age for the purchase of long guns. Individuals below this age may still handle firearms under specific circumstances, such as under adult supervision or in a hunting or educational context, but they cannot possess firearms independently. The other options do not reflect the legal framework in Arizona. For instance, while individuals can purchase handguns at 21 years of age under federal law, the question specifically addresses possession, which still allows for ownership at 18. Therefore, 18 years old is the correct minimum age for firearm possession in Arizona.
