Benefits of a Concealed Weapons Permit in Arizona

Shooting in the Outdoors

One of the wonderful things about Arizona is that we have so much public land available to us to use. You can legally shoot on National Forest and BLM land as long as there are no fire restrictions. Pick up your trash, and maybe a little extra if you have the room.

You can't shoot across any road or with 1/4 mile of any occupied building. And always be safe.

Arizona gun bills

Watch out Arizonans, anti-Second Amendment special interests have dropped a ton of hateful bills in the Arizona Legislature this year. Thanks to our tremendous Michael Infanzon of the Arizona Citizens Defense League for bring this to our attention:

🚨🇺🇸 Call To Action 🚨🇺🇸

Bills introduced in the Arizona Legislature target firearm accessories, impose stricter regulations on gun owners, and propose bans on "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines. Infanzon urges Arizona residents to remain vigilant, actively oppose these bills, and engage in efforts to protect gun rights.

Restoring gun rights

Preferably looking for a lawyer or a professionals answer. I have an out of state misdemeanor domestic battery (no bodily harm) from Illinois. I have 2 class 4 narcotics sales charges in Arizona. The state of Arizona says I can restore my rights 10 years after my sentence whereas Illinois says I can never own a firearm again because of the domestic. I also can’t expunge a domestic from my record in Illinois. I’m wondering what I have to do (if I can do anything) to still be able to restore my rights. I’m off parole as of today and I have 4 more years of probation until I can apply to restore my rights. Thank you in advance.

Private pistol range

Are there any ranges that offer a private pistol area where you can shoot and move? I’m looking for something like this:

https://youtu.be/DTAnYGMbHK4?si=WUqhnSq8rY_VIcUW

I understand if there are such places I probably have to get qualified but I’m just curious because I want to take my shooting to the next level.

I’m a C2 tactical member and go to Ben Avery every now and then but they are pretty restrictive in terms of training anything other than marksmanship.

It seems like AZ doesn’t have much in this department compared to other states, save for finding your own spot on BLM land.

Arizona gun sale laws

Good afternoon to everyone! I am someone relatively new to owning guns. I bought a Canik Mete SFT but eneded up not liking it that much so I wanted to sell it. I wanted to ask you guys what are the requirements for selling the gun. Do I have to do a FFL transfer? Or does AZ allow to do private sells and if so, what would be the best thing to do?

PD for the moderators: I am not trying to sell my gun here, just have some genuine questions regarding the topic.

Sbr and ar pistols

I'm getting some conflicting info from my research. Can we own an sbr in AZ? I understand I would need to file a form 1 and pay the ATF, but I've also read sbrs are not legal to own here. Also do limited eye relief optics actually change the clarification of an ar pistol?

Radical Firearms AR style pistol (300 blackout)

Just picked one of these up. I noticed the ammo is pretty expensive.

If anyone of you own these how’s it holding up?

Tax on Firearms - House Bill 2166

I just learned about House Bill 2166 in another post.
It says firearms are not subject to sales tax since 2023.

But I have bought at least 4 guns in the last 18 months, I paid tax on all of them.

What am I missing?

Here is "proof" of one transaction I paid tax.

Eric and his team at East Valley Tactical...

Quick PSA... In case you're new here... East Valley Tactical = THE GOAT!

Big selection, and old-school customer service that make you wonder why all retailers can't be like them. Knowledgeable staff and detail oriented smith. These guys care about and share the same passion as their customers.

If you're in the East valley and haven't stopped by their shop -- your aim is off.

Pistol Braces: Legal Yet - Yay or Nay?

I followed this topic for a while. I started to get whiplash from the day to day yes they are, no they aren't status that I determined they aren't for me. I wasn't interested in checking what the SCOTUS was up to hourly to figure out if I was a felon or not. And I'm sure that was a component of the ATF's plan. Fatigue the populous out of interest. "Quick!!! Unleash the Drama Lama!" ~ Little Stevie Dettlebritches.

So now I'm poking my head out of the proverbial foxhole and surveying the landscape. And yes I know better than to trust the internet on topics that might make you a felon so if someone can point me to a credible source that I could research, that would be muey el good-o.

Thanking y'all in advance for what I'm sure will be a lively and humorous look at the issue as of January 24th 2025.

==============================================

Edit for Clarity - Legal w/o a Tax Stamp. Just getting an AR with a brace and a 12" barrel.
