Arizona permits open carry of firearms by adults 18 and older without a license in most public spaces, subject to limited location restrictions.
Open carry is lawful statewide for non-prohibited persons 18 and older under ARS 13-3102. Local governments cannot impose stricter rules due to the preemption in ARS 13-3108. Restrictions apply at polling places, K-12 schools, secured government facilities, nuclear plants, and businesses that post compliant no-weapons signs. Carriers must comply with police instructions during stops and may be required to temporarily surrender firearms.
Carrying in restricted locations or while prohibited can be a misdemeanor or felony depending on circumstances under ARS 13-3102.
