    Laws - View Law: GUNS & WEAPONS


    Guns & Firearms:

    Laws are set to protect kids and adults when dangerous instruments are involved. This applies to driving a car as well as to possession of guns. In Arizona, the law states that kids under the age of 18 are not allowed to carry guns. (ARS 13-3111). This law also provides some exceptions where kids are allowed to have and use a gun under certain restricted conditions. For example, a kid can carry a gun if he or she is with a parent, grandparent, qualified hunter, safety instructor, or qualified firearms safety instructor as long as there is permission from a parent or guardian. When involved in lawful hunting or shooting events or marksmanship practice, kids between the ages of 14 and 18 are allowed to be in possession of a firearm.(ARS 13-3111). Because there are many exceptions and details in this statute, you may want to read the law or consult a gun expert or lawyer before actually possessing a firearm.

    Deadly Weapons:

    Arizona Law (ARS 13-3101) says that a Deadly weapon is anything that is designed for lethal use, including a firearm.

    It is against Arizona law to carry a firearm or any deadly weapon on a school campus. (ARS 13-3102)

    I knew a grade school kid that tried to stab another student with a pencil! So do we classify a pencil as a dangerous weapon? People kill people not guns or objects. People (and kids) must be educated about guns and parents must be responsible and lock away the guns!! Also, the NRA believes in educating children about guns so that mistakes would never happen. By the way, your freedom was won by the use of GUNS!!!

    My 17 year old brother shot himself and his friend by accident. What may be his penalty for this? Are the parents held criminally liable for such?
