What is the minimum age requirement to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Arizona?

  1. 18 years

  2. 21 years

  3. 25 years

  4. No minimum age requirement

The correct answer is: 21 years

In Arizona, the minimum age requirement to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years. Option A is incorrect because 18 years is the minimum age requirement to purchase a rifle or shotgun, not a handgun. Option C is incorrect as there is no such age restriction in Arizona. Option D is also incorrect as there is indeed a minimum age requirement for purchasing handguns in Arizona. The state law also allows minors under the age of 21 to possess a handgun in certain situations, such as when accompanied by a parent or guardian or during lawful hunting or target shooting activities.
