Which of the following individuals is prohibited from possessing a firearm in Arizona?

Non-citizens
Individuals convicted of a felony
Individuals under the age of 18
All of the above

The correct answer is: Individuals convicted of a felony

In Arizona, individuals convicted of a felony are prohibited from possessing a firearm. This law exists to promote public safety, recognizing that individuals with felony convictions may pose a higher risk if granted access to firearms. Once an individual has completed their sentence, including probation, they may have the opportunity to restore their firearm rights through a legal process. While some non-citizens may be limited in their ability to possess firearms based on federal laws, this provision applies to specific categories and is not universally applicable to all non-citizens. Regarding individuals under the age of 18, while there are limitations on their possession of firearms, there are also exceptions where minors can possess firearms under certain circumstances, such as for hunting or under parental supervision. This nuanced legal landscape makes it clear that the outright prohibition for individuals with felony convictions is a more definitive restriction compared to the other two groups listed.
