Can a felon own a weapon in Arizona and if so which ones?

Answer 1

Felons in all states are not allowed to use firearms or have them in their possession.

The person who left the above answer fail to clarify that they are talking about federal law. State law varies from state to state. Arizona is one state where it is possible for felons to have their gun rights restored. Granted after having those rights restored Arizona state law enforcment can't arrest you for carrying a firearm but if you run into a federal law enforcement officer they can, but how often do you realy run into the feds! Besides you would end up in Az state court, case dismissed! Short answer, YES a convicted felon CAN carry a firearm in Arizona IF he has had his gun rights restored

Answer 2

They may physically OWN it (e.g.: if they dispose of it the money they make from the sale is theirs), but they may not carry it, nor have it in their possession, nor may it be kept ANYWHERE where they may be living or visiting.

Answer 3

No,

- It is unlawful to sell or transfer a firearm to a "prohibited possessor."

- Who has been convicted of a felony involving violence or possession and use of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument and whose civil rights have not been restored.

Answer 4

Federal law - 18 USC, 921(g) - forbids the possession of firearms to convicted felons. SOME individual states do offer limited access to firearms but you will have to research your own state's laws to determine if AZ is one of them.

Answer 5

No, generally speaking a felon cannot legally own an handgun anywhere in the U.S.

Answer 6

NONE!!
