Arizona Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

In the context of Arizona laws, what is considered a 'firearm'?

1. Any device that expels a projectile by explosive

2. Only handguns

3. Only devices capable of automatic fire

4. Any device capable of being concealed on the person

The correct answer is: Any device that expels a projectile by explosive

In regards to Arizona laws, the term 'firearm' is defined as any device that expels a projectile by explosive. This means that any device, such as a rifle, shotgun, or handgun, would be considered a 'firearm' as long as it expels a projectile using an explosive. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they are limiting the definition of a firearm to only handguns, devices capable of automatic fire, or devices that can be concealed on a person. However, under Arizona laws, a firearm can encompass a wider range of devices beyond those restrictions.
