CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT UNIT |
VALID CCW PERMITS IN ARIZONA:
Reciprocal Agreements
A.R.S. § 13.3112.T allows for the Arizona Department of Public Safety to enter into written reciprocal agreements with states that have concealed weapons laws substantially similar to our laws. Therefore, the Concealed Weapon Permit Unit has determined that in order to meet the requirement of A.R.S. § 13.3112.T other states with a CCW programs must:
Be a shall issue state
Perform criminal history checks on all applicants
Have standard disqualification, suspension & revocation requirements
Have required training which covers the following:
* Deadly force issues
* Weapons care/maintenance
* Safe handling/storage
* Marksmanship
Have a minimum age issuance of 21
Require applicants be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien
Deny for mental illness
Deny for misdemeanor domestic violence convictions
Deny for felony convictions
Have an expiration date on permit
After these items have been verified, the Arizona Concealed Weapon Permit Unit will forward a reciprocal agreement for consideration by the appropriate CCW unit for that state. These agreements are reviewed and amended by the both CCW units and legal sections, prior to being signed by the respective directors/heads of the agency having the mandated authority.
The State of Arizona has current reciprocal agreements to carry concealed firearms with the following states:
These states have an active CCW written reciprocal agreement on file with the State of Arizona. This means your Arizona permit allows you to carry concealed under their respective state statute and Arizona will reciprocate by honoring CCW permits issued by these states.
Note: Michigan only recognizes permits from persons who are a resident of the issuing state.
