Can we put together a CCW FAQ and tack it? There have been a lot of questions lately and it seems as though it would make sense to just pull everything together.
ETA: While we're at it, can a person over 18 but under 21 carry concealed under the new law? |

You must be 21 to CC under new law. 18 to OC like normal. 21 for Permit as usual. |

If no one steps up I'd be ok for starting it. Cool. I'd do it, but I'm not much of an expert and my research skills suck. I can offer a few suggestions for questions, though: Who can carry? Where can we carry (vehicle, businesses, government buildings, bars, schools, churches, poling places, etc.)? Why would I want a permit? What can be concealed? Must I notify a police officer if I'm carrying? That's all I can think of for now. For the record, I've had a CCW permit for about ten years and I think I know the answers to most of these questions, but I'd like a concise resource I can point people to. |
| Who ever wants to make it, almost all of it is here Title 13 Chapter 31. Bar/Restaurant Carry Is here. idk were the bits about parks, hunting and that thing I can't think of is. |

I was going to start typing stuff up but I remembered that almost all of the info is here- http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/arizona.pdf Other than that link there is a little more. –––––– The advantage of a permit is you can carry in Alcohol serving establishments (If there are no "no CCW" signs of course). And if you were involved in a shooting it might be better for your defense if you have a permit ( speculation of course), you'll also learn some deadly force laws in a class. Also you can carry in other states that recognize AZ's permit. No "instant" background checks too. –––––––– No need to notify a LEO if you are stopped unless asked directly if you have a weapon. You can carry MGs and NFA though not recommended by some. If there's anything that isn't covered in the above link let me know and I'll dig up the answer. |

"carrying a deadly weapon while..." (a) "aiding a felony or violent crime" or (b) "lying to a LEO when asked if carrying" I just left the relevant info to carrying NFAs. NFAs are classified as a deadly weapon and not a prohibited weapon so you can carry them if you fall under the correct circumstances outlined in 13-3102 and 13-3112. |

| I had read it all before SB1108 was drafted, so I guess it all still makes sense to me. Most of the changes were moved from 3112 (conceal carry) and just doesn't apply there any longer. That and 3112 is a pain in the ass to read much less find what you're looking for. |

Quoted: Quoted: Having just moved to AZ, I'd definitely appreciate it if someone threw one of these together. BTW, I've only been here for two days, but I can soundly say that AZ kicks TXs ass.  You can find it at the Phoenix Library: http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Uploads/Graphics/126-0930094532-AGOG.jpg Good book. Alan is a good guy and very knowledgeable. He's usually at the gun shows selling these and they're not terribly expensive. If you see him, say hi and buy a copy - it's worth the $15 or whatever he charges these days. Get on his mailing list too, he sends out updates via e-mail and lots of gun legislation news on a regular basis. |

I didn't know you were looking specifically for info for the new bill for AZ. Been in and out of consciousness for most of the day. 
I just thought 'Carry issues' might be a good place to start. |
