WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO HAVING A CCW IN A “CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY” STATE?

1) Reciprocity: several states recognize our CCW and will allow you to carry concealed in their states with our permit.
2) Under federal Law (USC 922(q)(2)(A)) It is illegal to transport your firearm within 1,000 feet of school grounds, unless you have a state issued firearms permit (Arizona CCW qualifies under this)
3) Faster processing for firearms purchases
4) the more you have in your corner if you have to defend yourself in court, the better
5) Be able to carry into alcohol serving establishments concealed
6) Serves as a way of informing a police officer you have a firearm without having to say the word “gun” when interacting with them.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER FEES ASSOCIATED WITH GETTING MY CCW?

As with all other Arizona CCW classes, you will need to submit a $60 money order or cashier's check to AZ DPS within 90 days of the class along with your packet.

I HAVE A DPS/FEDERAL CLEARANCE CARD, DO I STILL NEED TO HAVE MY FINGERPRINTS DONE?

Yes. The CCW department of Arizona DPS does not recognize any clearance cards, even if they are federal.

WHAT NOT TO BRING:

This is a non-shooting course, so no live ammunition or firearms should ever be brought into the facility.
