Arizona Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

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

1. 18 years old

2. 21 years old

3. 16 years old

4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Arizona, the minimum age to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer is 21 years old. Option A, 18 years old, is incorrect because 18 is the minimum age to purchase a rifle or shotgun from a private seller, but not from a licensed dealer. Option C, 16 years old, is incorrect because federal law states that the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years old. Option D, 25 years old, is incorrect because there are no special age requirements for firearm purchases in Arizona beyond the minimum age of 21 for handguns and 18 for rifles and shotguns.
