Can someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol legally carry a firearm in public in Arizona?

  1. Yes, if not visibly impaired

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only if they have a permit

  4. Only during hunting

The correct answer is: No

In Arizona, individuals under the influence of drugs or alcohol are not legally permitted to carry a firearm in public. The law is clear on the principle that carrying a firearm while impaired can significantly increase the risk of accidents or violent encounters, as it affects judgment and motor skills. This standard prioritizes public safety by ensuring that firearms are handled only by those who are in a clear and sober state of mind. The other options imply circumstances under which carrying a firearm while impaired might be acceptable, but these do not align with the legal requirements in Arizona. It's crucial for anyone carrying a firearm to fully understand and comply with state laws to ensure both personal safety and the safety of others.
