What is the minimum age for someone to obtain a concealed carry permit in Arizona?

18 years old
21 years old
19 years old
25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Arizona, the minimum age to obtain a concealed carry permit is 21 years old. This requirement aligns with federal regulations that prohibit individuals under 21 from possessing a handgun, which is necessary for concealed carry. By setting the age at 21, Arizona aligns itself not just with state legislation but also with broader federal laws aimed at responsible firearm ownership and use. Individuals under the age of 21 may be allowed to possess firearms under certain conditions, like when accompanied by an adult or engaging in activities such as hunting, but for the purpose of a concealed carry permit specifically, the age limit is firmly established at 21 to ensure that permit holders have reached a level of maturity deemed necessary for the responsibilities of carrying a concealed weapon in public.
