NOTE:
Continuing legislation regarding handgun/firearm laws in all
states is a known factor and can lead to change and/or modifications
in the present state laws, including but not limited to Reciprocity
between states. Also consider the possibility of certain states
either adding or removing states from their list of approval
when new bills/laws have been ushered in by certain states.
It is your responsibility to remain informed on which states
recognize your state issued permit(s) prior to entering another
state. You may find reference to state gun laws and requirements
at various websites on the internet, such as http://www.handgunlaw.us
or http://www.usacarry.com
however keep in mind that the aforementioned website holds
strong disclaimers on accuracies cited in their content. Therefore,
it is our suggestion that you contact the state directly for
their current handgun/firearm laws and restrictions. Neither
Arizona Defensive Firearms Training nor RBI Defensive Firearms
Training, both divisions of RB Investigations, LLC., are responsible
for any changes or modifications to any of the CCW laws throughout
any of the states or Reciprocity agreements between any of
the states. |

Purchasing
a Firearm in Arizona
Buyer
must not be a "prohibited
possessor" under federal or state law and be
•
over 18 years of age in order to purchase a long gun or
• over 21 in order to purchase a handgun.
• present government-issued photo ID which establishes name,
address, date-of-birth and carries a signature
• Correctly and completely fill out and sign form government
form 4473
• If not a U.S. citizen and not an immigrant visa foreign
nationals will need to present proof of exception status
• Be able to pay for his or her purchase
• The dealer will then call or fax the Arizona Firearms Clearance
Center for an Arizona clearance as well as a federal NICS
(National Instant Criminal Background Check System) check. Usually
the check itself will take less than a minute and the resultant
answer is either a proceed, a delay or a deny. A delay gives the
FBI
3 days to clear it up and before which the firearm cannot be sold.
After 3 days the sale can take place automatically. A deny means
the sale cannot go through and the purchaser can contact the Arizona
Firearms Clearance Center to clear up the matter.
• An Arizona resident may then take possession of the firearm.
Non-residents
need to comply with several additional criteria:
•
the firearm must be legally possessible in the buyer's state of
residence
• the transaction must be legal in the purchaser's state
of residence
• Immediate possession of long guns is allowed if this is
allowed in the state of residence
• Purchased handguns will be shipped by the dealer in Arizona
to a licensed dealer (FFL
[Federal Firearms License]) in the state of residence.
