Can I legally OC a handgun in AZ at 18?

cracked91 · April 6, 2010, 02:56 AM

Hello,

Im 18 and recently legally acquired a Ruger P95 legally, through a private party transaction. Now I know the law pertaining to ownership, but what about open carry? Does being 18 give me the right to open carry a legally acquired handgun?

Also, for those who might know, if the removal of the CCW permit requirements take effect and "Any adult in AZ can legally conceal" does that mean any adult OVER 21, or just any adult?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks all!

Arizona Revised Statutes Annotated § 13-3111(A) prohibits an unemancipated person under 18 years of age from knowingly carrying or possessing a firearm on his person, within his immediate control, or in or on a means of transportation, in any place that is open to the public or on any street or highway or on any private property (except private property owned or leased by the minor or the minor's parent, grandparent or guardian) unless that person is accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or guardian, or a certified hunter safety instructor or certified firearms safety instructor acting with the consent of the unemancipated person's parent or guardian. This prohibition does not apply to a person who is 14 to 17 years of age and who is:
