CCW AZ School will provide a pre-addressed return envelope but if not, mail your materials to: DPS-CWPU P.O. Box 6488 Phoenix, AZ 85005-6488.

 
What kind of firearms and equipments do I need to bring?

Bring your firearms. .22, .32, 380, 9mm, .38, 357, .40, .45 & 44 caliber. For other calibers call Bob to discuss at 480-275-6995. Ear and eye protection (ear plugs, sun or prescription glasses OK) with at least 25 rounds of ammo each for 8 hour Comprehensive CCW Certificate and NRA Pistol Accuracy and Ammunition Session. For the 8 hour Comprehensive Certificate CCW Class and 3 hour NRA First Steps Pistol Certificate Course bring a mimimum of 75 rounds of ammumition. Gun bag preferred. Holsters optional not required.

 
How long will it take to obtain a CCW permit?

Applications are typically processed and permits issued/mailed within fourteen days of receipt. However, it can take up to 75 business days to complete all of the required qualification checks.

 
I completed the DPS armed security guard training course. May I use that to satisfy the 4 hour or the 8 hour CCW certificate training requirement?

No. These are two distinct training courses developed to satisfy differing statutory requirements.

 
I am moving to Arizona. Is my concealed weapon permit from my former state of residence transferable?

No. There is no provision in the law for transferring concealed weapon permits.

 
Can I pay my application fee with a personal check?

No. Acceptable forms of payment include money order, certified check or cashier's check made payable to AZ DPS in the amount of $60 (this is for your 5 Year permit). This is not due at the time of our CCW Class. You can pay this at a later date (you'll have up to six months to pay this permit fee).

 
Can I carry a firearm in my vehicle

As long as a casual observer can see you have an unconcealed firearm, you are not violating any laws. If you want to conceal the firearm in your vehicle, the easiest way is to get your AZ CCW permit. Otherwise, you may be subject to the court’s interpretation of whether or not you had ‘immediate access’

 
I have a CCW permit. Can I carry my handgun on school grounds while picking up my child?

Conditionally. If you remain in your vehicle and the handgun is unloaded before entering school grounds, yes. If you have to exit your vehicle while picking up your child, the handgun must be unloaded (as above) and secured (locked) within the vehicle out of plain view. Use caution if you must exit the vehicle with a handgun (or any weapon) to secure it in the trunk of your vehicle. Others may see you and not understand your intention.

 

Additionally, designated employees of a school may order a person off of school property if that person is believed to be interfering with school operations. School boards may also enact specific and more restrictive rules governing firearms and deadly weapons on school grounds. Determine what the rules of a school are before attempting to enter school grounds with a firearm. (ARS 13-3102.A.12, 13-3102.I and ARS 13-2911)
