PS I am lead to understand that there is such a thing in Michigan, where I came from, there is such a thing as a permit that allows the holder to go anywhere in the state instead of to work and back. My friend had this. However, it required a ruling by a judge. Also the concield weapons class there is three days long instead of the six hour class in Arizona. Not a firearm friendly state.

Hey Tuscon, this is an emotionally volatile issue for many people and I appreciate your graciousness to discuss it.
I was using gun to mean any hand held firearm including a long-gun or rifle. Apparently in some states you can buy a rifle at age 16 and there are currently 1.6 million high school students who are legally entitled to buy these AR 15 military assault rifles where they live. Here is a nice article about the issue:
