    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)

    Peole may say that guns don't kill people, people kill people. Yea but the weapons people use to kill people are harmful. Even having a gun around the house is dangerous. Around my neighborhood a little girl and her brother were playing and happened to find a armed gun. well i don't need to finish do i. You may think guns are cool but they do take lives.

    I dont know where you come up with some of your "facts". In AZ, you can legally purchase a knife at any age. You need to be 18 to buy something which discharges projectiles, however, you may own a projectile discharging weapon (such as a bow and arrow, or BB guns, and even rifles and shotguns) at any age just so long as your legal guardian gives you permission. However, I am not clear on what type of permission is nessecary.

    I think having a gun is bad because you might shoot someone or your friends.
