Are there any places in AZ that you guys know of with NFA-unfriendly CLEOs? How is Phoenix, specifically? I realize that the entire state may be "very friendly" but I sure don't want to move from one hoplophobic territory into another... Is there anything else pertinent that I should know about? Thanks |
Great, thanks for the replies. I know from experience the whole IL ARFCOM group is great and look forward to meeting up in AZ. I also look forward to hearing a lot more full auto fire  .Do you guys in AZ shoot at pay-ranges or for free on someone's land? I'll most likely be situated in time for the Flagstaff shoot. Oh boy, I'm excited to get out of this state! |

Conceal Carry sixteen hour course about 100.00 and 50.00 for permit for four years. Renewal course about 50.00. And since we are a open carry state. If the wind blows your shirt up, no big deal. Prohibited places for CCW- Federal, State, and City buildings, Schools, places that serve alcohol, major sporting events, places that post no firearms allowed. Gun laws in Arizona are state wide. No city to city bullshit or county to county bullshit. Arizona only has 15 counties. |
| Me and my wife both took our CCW classes at Glendale Community College. You get credit for it if your interested in that, but the best part was it was taught by Jerry Mcgowan, an instructor at Gunsite. He is a super cool guy and really knows his shit. Welcome to the REAL sunshine state! |

tecknical, As soon as you get here get your Arizona driver liscense and you can register to vote at MVD. Then call Shooter's World to schedule for your CCW. It will be real hot here when you arrive. Shooter's World has classes on site and indoor range (airconditioned). Then you'll be set. |
If you happen to be an LEO, you don't have to take the course. Just send in an application w/2 fingerprint cards and $50.00. Takes about a week. |
The Maricopa County Sheriff's office handles the CLEO signoff's for the Phoenix area. It's a pretty painless process. You have to get fingerprinted on their card ($8) and they will review all of your paperwork to make sure it's complete before you leave. They are pretty efficient. Right now the signoff process is taking a little over a month. |
| Not to hijack the thread, but I've got about 30 days left of my sentence here in MA.The wife and I secured our apartment in Mesa (one of 2 Pitbull friendly apts in the valley) and I couldn't be happier.I lived in Phoenix 12 years ago and vacationed there for 10 days 2 years ago.Can anyone recommend a good place in Mesa for the CCW course and for shooting? |
... I'm gonna be met with some resistance here, but I would go with Caswell's on between Stapley & Mesa Dr. Indoor A/C range, FATS simulator and relatively qualified instructors. |
