Under Arizona law, which group is immune from certain arrests or enforcement when traveling to or from drill?

• A. Witnesses under subpoena (except felonies) while attending trial or traveling to/from
• B. Members of Congress while in session (traveling to/from)
• C. National Guard (except felonies) while attending or traveling to/from drill
• D. Federal employees (minor parking exemptions only)

Answer: (C)

Arizona law provides a specific protection for National Guard members while they are attending, or traveling to and from, drill. They are immune from arrests or enforcement actions for most offenses during that travel and duty period, with the notable exception that this immunity does not apply to felonies. This arrangement helps ensure Guard members can fulfill training and duties without disruption from minor legal issues along the way. In practice, this means a National Guard member isn’t subject to arrest or detention for non-felony offenses during transit to or from drill, though felonies can still lead to arrest. This immunity is distinct from privileges that might apply to witnesses under subpoena, members of Congress, or federal employees, which are governed by other rules and contexts.
