Carrying in Other States

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.

The following 24 states have indicated they will recognize Arizona concealed weapon permits pursuant to one of the following: a reciprocal agreement, Arizona recognition of their permit, or generic recognition of all permits (states marked with an * are reciprocal agreement states):

Alaska*, Arkansas*, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky*, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan*, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio*, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas*, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming.

This is only a guide. Call these states directly to confirm the status of an Arizona permit
