Question on owning a firearm in AZ after mental illness

Moved to Arizona 2 years ago and thinking about getting a rifle for hunting. I was committed to a mental hospital for depression after a suicide attempt with a shotgun that wasn't mine 4 years ago in Illinois, but have made a full recovery since then and feel I can trust myself again. I haven't been able to find a clear answer on whether or not I'm allowed to own a firearm. I know I can't buy one from a registered dealer because of the background check, but if I buy one from a private seller would that still be against the law? I'm not planning on conceal or open carry or anything. Just curious about the legality of just ownership of a firearm.

Questions on private transfers if anyone can help!

I bought a gun while I was in California. However, I moved to Arizona a few years ago and wow it is nice change from California. But one thing I am unsure is that; am I able to just do a private transfer of that gun that was from California? I know Arizona doesn’t require the FFL to get involved in private transfers so long the buyer is legally able to possess a firearm. However my question is since the firearm is registered in California will I get the buyer in trouble? Or should I just go through an FFL? Thanks.

Looking for M&P Factory flat face trigger

I’m looking for someone that has upgraded their factory flat face trigger and willing to part with their old part. Either the trigger bar assembly or the shoe only. My 4.25 M&P duty gun has the curved/hinged trigger and my agency doesn’t allow aftermarket triggers. They will allow me to switch out the curved one for the factory flat face one. Unfortunately S&W won’t sell the triggers separately. Please contact me if you’re willing to help out.

Love my Overwatch Precision trigger in my 5” performance center 2.0 and wish I could use that one. If anyone is looking for a great trigger, check out Overwatch Precision. They are local to me and installed mine. Great guys.

Private Purchase

I’m in the market to buy a used hand gun here in AZ. Only concern I have is how to ensure I’m buying a clean gun. I don’t plan on registering my weapon but have never purchased via private sale and want to ensure I’m not buying something I shouldn’t. Any ideas?

Hey Y'all! Brand new here. Me and a few other buddies are trying to get a monthly getaway from the women and bring our very best to show off and share. Like a potluck with Guns lol But having trouble with SERIOUSLY OVERCROWD AREAS!

So Queens Valley is a bust. And any of the new public spots built by the county are a bust unless we get up at 2am to meet up at 3am to carpool and everything and last time we did that we waited for the sun for 3 hours or got kicked out because we were there way too early. I know y'all don't want to give away Your best spots. But if you could recommend something like Queen Valley that isn't queen valley.....man you sure would be helping out 4-6 really good guys that don't ever get to hang with the boys and just work and woman/kids

ALL!

THE!!

TIME!!!

Any suggestions welcome. Anybody in a similar situation is welcome as well. We plan on bringing an extra cash because we know ammo isn't the cheapest these days. So I was trying to come up with a rule of like a dollar a shot or something like that? Maybe even $2 a shot so that You're coming up on top rather than breaking even. We haven't even been able to have a meet up yet so coming up with a rule seems lower on the list then actually being able to get together. We don't mind driving a little farther we got boys in Phoenix Mesa and a couple 20 minutes away from Queen Valley. We planned on using that guy's house as a meet up but even then we get there and it's already packed I think these people must camp overnight that's the only logical explanation I can come up with for how they get out there so early.

Anyway sorry for the long post. And any suggestion on location would be so greatly appreciated you have no idea!!!! We are all dying to get out of the house and get together and just do man shit for a couple of hours... Ring some steel! Blow up some water jugs! Maybe cook some brats!?! And like I said if you're willing to share a spot you're more than welcome to join. We're in our 30's but appreciate some younger guys if they're safe and respectful to both Land and Law, and ALWAYS appreciate learning from the older generation and the knowledge and lessons they have to bestow!

Well Thanks for Your Time!!!! Everyone Stay Safe Out There!!!!!

P.S if you'd prefer to private message me (I almost prefer that as well) Please feel free. God Bless And Thank'Yah Very Much!!!

.410 For Wife

Took the wife out shooting trap on Christmas Eve with the family. She did well and enjoyed shooting the .410. I am looking to find one for a decent price, but just something she can feel is hers and shoot well at the range. I plan on getting a nicer one down the road if she takes to it. Anyone have any suggestions or possibly one they're willing to part with? We are up north in Prescott.

Where to list a gun for sale,

I have a beretta m9a3, looking to get rid of it for a fair price. I don’t want to have to haggle with a gun store. Does anyone know what the protocol is to list a private sale gun since backpage is gone.

Ghost guns

I know ghost guns are legal in arizona, but what about big ghost guns? I want to manufacture a puckle gun from the civil war period it originally shot 40mm bullets and I would like to keep it 40mm but instead of black powder/flintlock design to shoot 40mm bullets I will also be making myself would that be legal? All I can really find online are nfa types like cannons and they say I have to pay a 200 tax fee but that’s to buy one, not make it myself
