Arizona CCW

As NRA Certified Instructors, ALL PRESCOTT FIREARMS TRAINING classes meet the training requirements for obtaining a Concealed Weapons Permit (aka CCW) in Arizona. A.R.S. 13-3112(N)(1), para. N. 1.


Even though Arizona does NOT require a permit to carry open or concealed (with certain age and other restrictions), CCW permits are still available and issued by the Concealed Weapons Permit Unit of the Arizona Department of Public Safety for purposes of reciprocity with certain (not all) other states or for carrying firearms in certain regulated places. If you have a permit, the process of obtaining a background check when you purchase a firearm is streamlined.


While we don’t feel that law-abiding citizens should be legally required to obtain training in order to exercise a constitutional right; we do encourage at least a basic knowledge of, and proficiency of, safety and live fire shooting fundamentals. We offer two approaches to incorporate basic gun safety and live fire proficiency in obtaining your CCW permitting process:


1.)  Prescott Firearms Training Handgun Safety and Shooting Fundamentals (Part 2) $150. This is a private lesson at indoor range (max two at a time). CCW application process: a.) Download a CCW permit application at https://www.azdps.gov/ b.) attach a copy of your class certificate and two copies of fingerprints which can be done at the County Sherriff office Prescott location, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. c.) submit by mail or online. Call Larry Hansen to schedule: (760) 668-2486. Or send message.


2.)  Level Up Defense. $250. A more immersive and comprehensive private 2.5 hour class at outdoor range, offered by Larry Arrey, retired law enforcement officer. Includes on-site finger printing (two completed fingerprint cards (FD-258) ready for submission.) Call Larry Arrey for more information or to schedule: (602) 501-0561. Or message Larry at www.LevelUpDefense.net 


Below are some of the more relevant AZ gun laws. Be sure to read the actual Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) rather than other online sources (i.e., blogs, copy and paste or non-attorney interpretations, as laws do change and what you read online and rely on, may be outdated or incorrect. If not the actual A.R.S. laws.
