Arizona broadly preempts cities, towns, and counties from regulating firearms, ammunition, components, and related accessories beyond state law.
ARS 13-3108 establishes that the regulation of firearms is a matter of statewide concern. Political subdivisions cannot enact rules concerning the transportation, possession, carrying, sale, transfer, purchase, acquisition, gift, devise, storage, licensing, registration, discharge or use of firearms or ammunition. Local ordinances inconsistent with state law are void, and an aggrieved person may seek declaratory and injunctive relief plus actual damages up to $100,000.
Local officials enforcing void firearm ordinances may face civil liability and the locality must pay damages and attorney fees.
