Who is allowed to carry a concealed firearm in Arizona without a permit?

Everyone over 18 years of age
Only active duty military personnel
Residents over 21 years of age
Non-residents passing through the state

The correct answer is: Residents over 21 years of age

The correct answer is that residents over 21 years of age are allowed to carry a concealed firearm in Arizona without a permit. Arizona's laws permit individuals who are 21 and older to carry concealed weapons without a permit, reflecting the state's relatively permissive stance on gun ownership and carry rights for law-abiding citizens. The specific age requirement ensures that individuals carrying concealed firearms possess a level of maturity and presumably have a better understanding of the responsibilities and legal implications of carrying a firearm. This law strives to balance the right to bear arms with public safety considerations. Other choices do not reflect the comprehensive regulations in place. For example, while everyone over 18 years of age may possess firearms openly, they cannot carry concealed without meeting the age requirement. Likewise, the option referring only to active duty military personnel does not account for the broader eligibility criteria for residents, while non-residents passing through would be subject to different regulations that may not grant them the same rights as Arizona residents.
