If you’re facing a Class 6 weapon-related felony in Arizona
Disorderly Conduct with a Weapon under ARS § 13-2904(A)(6) is the felony tier of the disorderly conduct statute, triggered when the conduct involves recklessly handling, displaying, or discharging a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument. The Class 6 felony classification carries lower exposure than other weapon-related felonies (Aggravated Assault, Misconduct Involving Weapons) but still produces a permanent felony record with the lifetime federal firearm prohibition attached.
The undesignated felony framework under ARS § 13-604 is the standard tool for limiting long-term consequences on Class 6 weapon-related felonies. When the plea structures the offense as undesignated, the court has discretion at probation discharge to designate the offense as a misdemeanor. The conviction stays on the record but at the misdemeanor level, which dramatically reduces collateral consequences and shortens the sealing wait.
