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

18 years
21 years
25 years
30 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In Arizona, the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years. This aligns with federal law, which establishes that individuals must be at least 21 years old to buy a handgun from a federally licensed firearms dealer. This law is in place to help ensure that purchasers of handguns have reached a level of maturity and responsibility deemed necessary for the ownership and handling of such firearms. The age restriction aims to promote responsible gun ownership and public safety, as handguns are often associated with higher risks and potential for misuse compared to long guns, which can be purchased at 18 years of age.
