Question: How old do you have to be to buy ammunition in Arizona?
Answer: The answer depends on the kind of ammunition you wish to purchase. To purchase handgun ammunition from a federally licensed firearms dealer, you must be 21 years old. Unlicensed person (private sellers) cannot sell handgun ammunition to anyone under the age of 18. For rifle and shotgun ammunition, there is no federal law that provides for a minimum age to purchase. Arizona has a law prohibiting the transfer of ammunition to anyone under the age of 18 without the written consent of their parent or legal guardian.
