Arizona

A.R.S. §13-3102(B)(3) exempts a visibly-carried weapon from the state's carrying restrictions; open carry has never required a license in Arizona for anyone 18+ (21+ for permitless concealed) who is not a prohibited possessor.

Arizona (constitutional-carry state) has no statute banning carry in places of worship; a church may prohibit firearms on its property like any private business, and violating a request to leave is a trespass matter, not a firearms crime.

A.R.S. 13-3112 lets a CWP holder carry into a bar or restaurant serving alcohol as long as they do not consume alcohol themselves. A.R.S. 4-229 lets the establishment override this by posting a sign. (Note: permitless carriers, unlike permit holders, may not enter any alcohol-licensed establishment at all — the question here is about permit holders specifically.)

Arizona has statewide permitless carry for anyone 21+ who may lawfully possess a firearm (A.R.S. § 13-3102), and § 13-3112(T) requires Arizona to recognize any other state's valid permit. No boat, vessel, or waterway appears among Arizona's narrow list of restricted locations; a targeted search for an Arizona boating-firearms rule found none.

A.R.S. §13-3102(A)(10) makes it unlawful to carry a deadly weapon into a 'public establishment' (defined at (N)(2) as any structure/vehicle/craft owned, leased or operated by the state or a political subdivision — this reaches a DMV, city hall, or non-screened courthouse area) only AFTER a reasonable request by the entity to remove/store the weapon is refused; it is not an automatic ban. Courts in practice screen and exclude weapons entirely under separate judicial security rules. So the answer genuinely depends on whether that specific building has posted/requested a no-carry policy.

Arizona has no state statute specifically restricting campus carry; the Arizona Board of Regents and individual private schools set policy instead. As of March 2024 no public or private Arizona university permitted concealed carry on campus grounds/buildings (locked-vehicle exception).

Arizona follows the standard opt-out model. Confirmed (for the alcohol-establishment context) that A.R.S. § 4-229 requires the business to post notice before carry is prohibited; the general private-property rule is the same — a business must give notice (sign or verbal) to exclude a carrier, and absent that notice carry is lawful.

No AZ statute requires advance owner consent to carry on private property; the criminal trespass statute requires actual notice before presence becomes unlawful (opt-out default).

Arizona's prohibited-carry list (A.R.S. § 13-3102, restated in Wikipedia's Gun laws in Arizona with direct statutory language) restricts firearms only in the 'secured areas of airports' — defined by reference to the TSA-approved security identification display area/sterile area — and expressly carves out general-aviation areas outside that security program. Non-secure terminal areas (ticketing, baggage claim, curbside) are therefore not restricted by state law. Arizona is also permitless carry for 21+ with one of the nation's strongest firearm-preemption statutes (A.R.S. § 13-3108), which limits an airport authority's ability to impose a broader local ban.

Arizona has permitless carry since 2010 (A.R.S. §13-3102), open or concealed, for anyone 21+ eligible to possess a firearm — no license needed in a vehicle. A.R.S. §13-3107 lists acceptable vehicle carry methods (case, holster, glovebox, trunk, etc.) for those who choose not to carry directly on the person.

Ariz. Rev. Stat. §13-3102's list of restricted locations (public establishments/events with posted notice on state/political-subdivision property, polling places, schools, nuclear/hydro stations) does not include hospitals. A government-owned hospital could arguably qualify as a posted 'public establishment' under (A)(10); private hospitals are governed by ordinary property rules, not a firearms statute.

Arizona is constitutional-carry; A.R.S. §13-3102 lists a short set of prohibited places (schools, polling places, posted establishments, nuclear/hydro plants) and none is a rest area; firearms in vehicles are expressly addressed (glove box/trunk/etc.) and unrestricted for lawful carriers. Verified against the statute text directly.

A.R.S. § 13-3102(A)(4) (fetched directly from azleg.gov): misconduct involving weapons if a person, "when contacted by a law enforcement officer," fails "to accurately answer the officer if the officer asks whether the person is carrying a concealed deadly weapon." Duty is triggered only by the officer's direct question, not proactive.

Arizona DPS: "You do not live in Arizona. Can I still apply for an Arizona concealed weapons permit? Yes!" Any U.S. citizen who meets eligibility requirements may apply regardless of residency, A.R.S. § 13-3112.

A.R.S. §13-3102(A)(12) bans firearms on K-12 grounds; the general CCW-permit exception does NOT apply at public schools (districts must adopt policies barring weapons without specific authorization, §15-341(A)(23)), though private schools may choose to allow permit holders. An unloaded firearm may be kept in a locked vehicle. So: public school = no even with a permit; private school = depends on that school's policy.

Arizona has no firearm-specific signage statute; the general criminal trespass in the third degree statute, A.R.S. § 13-1502, makes it a class 3 misdemeanor to knowingly enter/remain 'after a reasonable request to leave... or reasonable notice prohibiting entry' — the statute treats 'reasonable notice' (which could include a sign) as an alternative to a personal request, not a requirement in addition to one. So it depends on whether the specific sign qualifies as 'reasonable notice' under case law; I could not confirm how AZ courts have applied this to firearm-specific signage at a retail business.

A.R.S. § 13-3108: political subdivisions may not enact any ordinance/rule/tax relating to carrying or possession of firearms. Narrow exceptions for small parks (≤1 sq. mi.) and discharge zones.

A.R.S. 13-3102(A)(11) makes it 'misconduct involving weapons' (class 1 misdemeanor) to enter an election polling place on the day of any election carrying a deadly weapon, 'unless specifically authorized by law.' No exception for concealed-carry permit holders as such.

No state-level magazine capacity restriction found.

No extreme risk protection order or red flag statute found in Arizona.

Arizona's prohibited-weapons statute (A.R.S. §13-3101(A)(8)) names SBRs, SBSs, suppressors, and machine guns, but subsection (B) creates a full carve-out: items 'possessed, manufactured or transferred in compliance with federal law' are not 'prohibited weapons' under state law at all. No added state permit, registration, or paperwork for any category, including pre-1986 transferable machine guns.

Stand Your Ground by statute: Ariz. Rev. Stat. §§ 13-405(B); 13-411(B); 13-418(B) — no duty to retreat.

Arizona has no state law requiring background checks on private transfers (state law in fact contains provisions limiting local regulation of firearms transactions). Confirmed via absence from Giffords' UBC list.
