Is open carry of firearms allowed in Arizona?

Yes, without any permit
No
Yes, but only with a permit
Yes, but restricted to rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

Open carry of firearms is indeed allowed in Arizona without requiring a permit. This law reflects Arizona's commitment to the Second Amendment and firearm ownership rights. An individual who is at least 18 years old can openly carry a firearm, provided they are not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal or state law. This legal framework applies uniformly across the state, allowing both residents and visitors to openly carry firearms in most public settings. While there may be specific restrictions regarding where firearms cannot be carried—such as schools, polling places, or private property that prohibits firearms—the general rule allows for open carry without a permit. Understanding this context underscores the significance of being well-informed about local regulations and ensuring safe and responsible firearm practices.
