How old do you have to be to carry a handgun in AZ??

Question

I have heard that you can CARRY a handgun at the age of 18 but you cannot purchase one. so what is the legal age to just carry a holstered, non-concealed handgun??? and how much of the gun has to be showing for it to be not concealed??? can you have it in your pocket with half of it in view or does the whole gun have to be shown??

Answer 1

DONT LISTEN TO ANYBODY ELSE BUT ME DUDE IN AZ AT AGE 18 YOU CAN CARRY A GUN AS LONG AS ITS HOLSTERED AND AT LEAST 2 TO 3 INCHES OF THE GUN AND HOLSTER IS IN PLAIN SIGHT BUT THE FLIP SIDE OF THIS IS COPS CAN SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT SO BECAREFUL AND STAY OUT OF TROUBLE SO THAT WHEN YOU TURN 21 YOU CAN GET A CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT AND TELL THE COPS 2 **** OFF (HAS TO BE HOLSTERED NO POCKET ****)

Answer 2

Yes, in AZ you can carry a pistol openly at age 18. Just use a normal belt holster - most people won't notice anyway. You have to be 21 to apply for a CCW license in order to carry concealed.

Answer 3

Although children and teenagers cannot buy guns legally, they can possess them. This is a reflection of the patchwork nature of laws regulating firearms possession by juveniles. Federal law prohibits anyone under 21 years old from purchasing a handgun from the holder of a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and prohibits handgun possession by anyone under the age of 18 years old—although the law contains numerous exemptions. The Violent Crime Control Law Enforcement Act of 1994 made it illegal for any person, with some exceptions, to sell or transfer a handgun or handgun ammunition to anyone under 18 years of age. The exceptions include: temporary transfer or possession or use to a juvenile in the course of employment, target practice, hunting, safety instruction, and with prior written consent of the juvenile's parent or guardian who is not prohibited from possessing a firearm; juveniles who are members of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National Guard; a transfer by inheritance of title (but not possession) to a juvenile; and, possession taken in self-defense or for other persons against an intruder into the residence of a juvenile or a residence in which the juvenile is an invited guest. It also made it unlawful for a juvenile, with the same exceptions, to possess a handgun or handgun ammunition.

John addressed each and everything particularly thoroughly different than on your difficulty approximately age. definite, 18 an older could own/overtly carry a hand gun. The source of maximum individuals's confusion on the situation is the certainty that a broking (FFL holder) won't be in a position to sell one to all people under 21. yet it is worry-free to get carry of one legally as a cutting-edge or via a private sale. hid carry is 21. Congratulations on the 1911.

Answer 5

to purchase a handgun you must be 21. to take the weapon anywhere besides your home or a pistol range you either have to get a 'carry permit' to have it in a holster, or a 'concealed weapons permit' to have inside your pocket. each of which requires a fee and target training. the place where you purchase the gun should be able to provide you with information on how to obtain these permits.
