Question: Why don't kids have the right to carry guns?
Answer: 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.(A.R.S. § 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.(A.R.S. § 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.

I don't think we should let little kids go running around with guns but maybe 13 and up should be allowed if they pass a qualification course. I am 15 and think it would be great if I were allowed to carry a concealed firearm but I live in PA where you even have to apply for a permit just to carry pepper spray!

i think we should be able to carry guns because somebody might come up to them and try to kidnap them...and if we all had a gun with us then we could shoot them in the foot or the knee so we would have a chance to run away
