This bill amends Arizona law regarding the handling of firearms following certain criminal convictions. Specifically, if a firearm was used in a homicide, the court must order its destruction. Additionally, firearms used in felony convictions, particularly those involving deadly weapons, will be forfeited and either sold to a licensed dealer or destroyed, with a specific process for firearms linked to homicide cases involving appeals and post-conviction relief. The bill also addresses the forfeiture of other dangerous instruments used in specific felony offenses.
