Hey guys, I'm moving to Flagstaff, should arrive about mid October.
I've tried to google the laws about uncased long guns in a vehicle in AZ, but no dice. I was wondering if uncased and loaded long guns are illegal in AZ. (they are in WI) Thanks. |
|
Not illegal here.
Hell, get you a rifle rack and fly your loaded AR with pride! |
|
I think I'm really going to like Arizona.
Thanks guys. ETA I might have to SBR my AMD65, just to have a super short, fun, truck gun. |
|
i often have an ar chambered in the front seat and a pile of loaded guns in the back seat if im headed out shooting. No fucks givin no laws broken.
|
|
SBR in the front, locked and loaded and no laws being broke as Victor just said
Hell, holstered to the car BU in the front along with my EDC on my person...life is good. |

Now when I go back all I can think about are the bullshit freedom restricting laws. Edit: Sorry about the hippy population in Flag.. They are hard to convert.. |

No problem with a long gun in your vehicle ,but I would keep it hidden from view ,or your vehicle will get broken into and the weapon stolen .

Go to Wal Mart and buy a black sheet. Very cheap. Cover your goods with it. From the outside through tinted windows, you look like you have nothing.

While we are on the subject, what do you guys think about living in the Flagstaff area in general?
There seems to be alot of good places to camp / hike / shoot / offroad (I have a dr650 right now) in the area. I have a job interview that seems pretty promising once I arrive, and I have some money put away if I don't get a job right off the bat. (so I'm good on that end for now) |

There is a lot of outdoors stuff to do, which is great. However wages tend to be lower than the Phoenix area and the cost of living is higher in Flag. I believe it was someone here that called the area "poverty with a view" which I found to be fairly accurate. Flag in general is also pretty anti growth, so that keeps out a lot of new businesses and jobs from coming to town. |

I was going to move to Prescott, but it seems like I would have an easier time making money in a little bigger town. (I heard getting work is pretty tough around Prescott)
Really, I just want to get my foot in the door in Arizona, someplace where it isn't so hot. I can always pick up and go to a different area, if I don't like Flagstaff. |

Flagstaff is a fun place to enjoy the outdoors. I do not live there, but I did graduate from NAU. I also vacation in the area every few years.
OP, what kind of work do you do? |
|
I've been a painter since 1995, I usually have a regular job, and do work for myself.

If you include Prescott Valley, the population in the Prescott area is larger than Flagstaff. Flag is nice to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. Prescott area is nicer.

Mid October ETA? Going to organize a long range shoot and maybe some pistols around that time frame, partial celebration of my birthday and it's looking around 24 October to be the date.
Send me a PM when you get here, or need some questions answered. |

Yeah, my last day at my job will probably be Sept 30 (I might work the last 2 days of that week, because the 30th is a Wed.)
I imagine I'll head out there within a week from then. (I shouldn't have to do much by then besides load up my truck and trailer, change my oil...stuff like that) |

Between the lottery, left over tags, and over the counter archery tags, a dedicated hunter can pretty much get a deer tag every year in AZ. |

I live in the Doney Park area not the Peoples Republic of Flagstaff itself and there are more like minded people here than in town. I teach at NAU for now and the student body is not all liberals, just most of the old hippie types in town. That said the FPD is pretty cool about personal firearm ownership, at the citizens academy we go to shoot the cops guns for the day. I had a Coconino County sheriff drive up in the forest one day and started to shoot the bull. It was an area deputies would go to check out the service weapons (and leave the brass ). I learned about extended bolt latches for AR's from him.
Just go to town for lunch and beer and live in the outskirts. Come out to the range east of town and meet some of the local shooters There are lower price areas like Williams and Bellemont as well as Doney Park. Flag itself is for the well to do. The solution to (hippie) pollution is dilution. Welcome. |

Prescott is a great place. All through the summer, there is something going on in the Square. It really feels like a small town.Some good dining, LOTS of places to shoot, lots of trails, biking, hiking. Just a nice friendly little town.

As a painter you have a skilled trade. You probably could find work in Prescott. It's the unskilled that have a problem finding jobs. Prescott is also known as a retirement town. It seems to me that a residential painting business has a better chance of succeeding than others. Arizonans do hate to part with their money though.
