RE: Gun Purchasing Question

WHENEVER ANYONE HAS A QUESTION ABOUT THINGS LIKE WHAT THE LAWS ARE ABOUT GUNS IN ANY STATE OR TERRITORY, JUST ACCESS THE NRA-ILA WEBSITE AND CLICK ON THE STATE IN QUESTION!! JUST THE INFORMATION POSTED HERE IS WORTH THE COST OF NRA MEMBERSHIP, EVEN THOUGH THIS SERVICE IS FREE! ANY AMERICAN WHO OWNS A GUN SHOULD BE A N NRA MEMBER-THIS OUTFIT IS THE ONLY THING THAT STANDS BETWEEN US AND LOSING OUR RIGHTS, DURNBURNIT ALL ANYHOW!!

There is no permit or any other requirement for you to purchase & possess a firearm of any sort, including handguns, in Arizona as long as you have not been convicted of a felony, a domesic violence m9isdemeanor, and are not an otherwise ineligible "prohibited person". You don't need a permit to carry it either, as long as it is not concealed! However, there are places into which you may not enter if armed!

For further info, check out the laws on the NRA-ILA Arizona website.

Here's a small quote from the NRA posting for AZ: For more info, check it out yourself.

CARRYING
No person shall carry a firearm "concealed on his person." This does not apply to a person in his dwelling, business premises or on real property owned or leased by that person. A handgun carried in a belt holster which is wholly or partially visible or carried in luggage is not considered carrying concealed.
It is unlawful to carry a firearm concealed within the immediate control of any person in or on a means of transportation. This does not apply to firearms carried in a case, holster or scabbard in a means of transportation or a storage compartment, trunk, pack, luggage, or glove compartment of a means of transportation.
Exempt from these prohibitions are peace officers or any person summoned by a peace officer to assist and while actually assisting in the performance of official duties; on-duty military forces of the United States; a person specifically licensed, authorized or permitted pursuant to an Arizona or United States statute.

No person shall, unless specifically authorized by law, enter a public establishment or attend a public event carrying a firearm after a reasonable request by the operator of the establishment or the sponsor of the event to remove his firearm and place it in the custody of the operator or sponsor. This does not apply to shooting ranges or shooting events, hunting areas or similar locations or activities.

It is unlawful, unless specifically authorized by law, to enter an election polling place on the day of any election carrying a firearm.
It is unlawful to possess a deadly weapon on grade or high school grounds.
