Which of the following is a requirement for openly carrying a firearm in Arizona?

  1. Must be 18 years of age or older

  2. Must not be prohibited from possessing a firearm

  3. Must inform law enforcement during any official contact

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

In Arizona, when openly carrying a firearm, several key requirements must be met to ensure compliance with state laws. Being at least 18 years old is one such requirement, which establishes a minimum age for firearm possession in the state. Additionally, individuals must not be prohibited from possessing firearms, which means they should not have any legal restrictions such as felony convictions or mental health adjudications that would disqualify them. Moreover, while it is generally a good practice to inform law enforcement of your firearm during official contacts, particularly to avoid misunderstandings, it is not legally mandated in Arizona to do so while openly carrying. All these factors collectively highlight the various legal aspects surrounding open carry, thus making "all of the above" the most comprehensive and correct answer. This choice acknowledges the multiple criteria required for lawful open carry in Arizona.
