Warning:
It is extremely important that all Arizona Permit holders
be aware of the CCW requirements and laws of all reciprocating/recognizing
states. An Arizona CCW permit does not supersede any other
state's law or CCW requirements. Persons carrying an Arizona
permit are subject to the laws of the state they are visiting.
If
you are an Arizona permit holder traveling to another state
and wish to carry a concealed weapon using your Arizona permit,
contact that state directly to confirm their recognition status
before carrying concealed weapons there.
Some
states only recognize permits from persons who are a resident
of the issuing state.
This
is only a guide. Call these states directly to confirm the
status of an Arizona permit
