Arizona Gun Laws

Despite having some of the strictest laws in the country for crimes related to drugs and firearms, Arizona has highly lenient gun control laws. In Arizona, anyone who is 21 years or older can carry a weapon, either concealed or openly, without a license. The only exception is if the person is a prohibited possessor, such as someone convicted of a felony crime.

To obtain a concealed weapons permit, individuals in Arizona must be legal U.S. residents, eligible possessors, 21 or older, and must complete a safety course. The only illegal firearms in Arizona are automatic weapons, shotguns with barrels that are less than 18 inches long, rifles with barrels less than 16 inches long, and any modified rifle or shotgun with a length of less than 26 inches.
