Do i need a CCW license in Arizona?

• 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.

so depending on what kind of gun you want to get......really matters. but no in AZ you do not need a CCW to own a gun or carry it concealed

Congratulations on hitting the jackpot by living in ONE of the four Constitutional Carry States. Consider yourself lucky.

In AZ you are not required to have a ccw permit but are required to abide by all the laws concerning it, which includes being 21.

No, at 19 you cannot conceal a firearm but you may Open Carry it in a responsible way. I suggest a nice revolver with a laether holster that is equipped with a retention strap.

I agree with the first answer. Lucky you live in AZ.
