Who is prohibited from possessing a firearm in Arizona?

Individuals convicted of a felony
Individuals under 21
Non-residents
Individuals without a hunter's safety course

The correct answer is: Individuals convicted of a felony

Individuals convicted of a felony are indeed prohibited from possessing a firearm in Arizona. This restriction is in place due to the belief that certain criminal behaviors indicate a risk to public safety, and it serves as a means to prevent individuals who may pose a risk from having access to firearms. In Arizona, a felony conviction results in a loss of firearm rights, which generally extends for a specific period or permanently, depending on the nature of the crime and other factors related to the conviction. Regarding the other options, while individuals under 21 face certain restrictions regarding the purchase of firearms, they are not outright prohibited from possessing firearms, especially if obtained legally or through parental consent. Non-residents may possess firearms in Arizona, but they must adhere to local laws and regulations. Additionally, there is no requirement for individuals to complete a hunter's safety course to possess a firearm, meaning that this does not serve as a prohibition on firearm possession in the state.
