Prohibited gun purchaser, 1939 version

From Arizona's 1939 Code:

Under that code, the two classes of persons forbidden firearms purchase (but not possession) were (1) juveniles under age 14, who could not be sold handguns, and (2) Indians, who could not be sold rifles or handguns. (At that, there was no penalty provided for the purchaser, so a juvenile or an Indian would managed to obtain a forbidden firearm could keep it).
