Interesting post I will like to know as well. Is this the one that can replace astro?
True I called my local PD and asked
No you can Not 21 for a handgun..
In Arizona, you can purchase a handgun at 18, but not from an FFL. You can purchase from a private owner, or be gifted a handgun, and you are the owner. However, you can only open carry - CCW is strictly 18 and over. And don't let that shirt slip down over your open carry holster .
According to state law, a person must be 18 years of age to purchase any non-NFA firearm from any source; however, there is a federal age limit of 21 years on handgun purchases from federal firearms licensees.On foot, any adult person who is not a "prohibited possessor"[6]may openly carry a loaded firearm visible to others. Generally, a person must be at least 18 years of age to possess or openly carry a firearm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Arizona
And I am a Sheriff's posse member and I'll bet you get it taken away from you when you get pulled over forget Wikipedia go to azdps website and find out the right way.. carry on.
Yes , it is legal in Arizona for a person 18 years old to purchase a handgun in a private sale as long as both parties are residents of Arizona.
There is no Arizona or Federal law that prohibits it.
The Federal law only says that an FFL can not sell a handgun to anyone under 21.
Yes you can even open carry at 18! What I am trying to emphasize is if you are pulled over for ANY reason they WILL take it away from you that's all.Quote:
