Arizona allows permitless concealed carry for adults 21 and older, while still issuing optional CCW permits that enable reciprocity with other states.
ARS 13-3112 governs concealed weapons permits, while ARS 13-3102 allows lawful adults 21+ to carry concealed without a permit. Permits remain available and confer reciprocity, school pickup zone access, and exemptions from federal Gun-Free School Zones Act. Applicants must complete an approved firearms safety course, pass a background check, and submit fingerprints. Permits are valid for five years and renewable.
Carrying concealed while a prohibited possessor or in restricted locations like secured federal facilities is a felony under ARS 13-3102.
