CCW questions.

[MBrocker]

I moved to AZ from KS about 18 months ago. Will my CCW transfer over to AZ? I heard you do not need CCW to carry concealed, true? If true why get CCW? How long is AZ CCW good?

Permit is Good for 5 years. You will have to contact our Concealed weapon permit unit to ask if your permit qualifies you for an AZ permit (https://www.azdps.gov/About/Contacts/Email/?c=CCW).

AZ is a constitutional carry state so no permit is required unless you want to carry in a place where alcohol is served for on premises consumption.

Hey, welcome to Az. So you left the Land of Milk and Honey. What part of Kansas? I'm from Kansas City (Missouri).

You're going to love it here. Except for the summers, probably, but even then, it's better IMO. Lol.

Yes. Contact DPS and get an application packet. Fill out the application, get the fingerprint cards done and then include a photo copy of your KS CCW.

AZ is Constitutional carry. AZ CCW is good for 5 years.

Reasons to get an AZ CCW

1. Can legally carry into establishments that serve alcohol as long as you ar not consuming.
2. Must have CCW permit to carry a concealed weapon within 1000 feet of a school.
3. Reciprocity in 37 states.
4. AZ CCW is a legal substitute for a NICS check when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer.
