Carrying?
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2018 2:27 pm
From https://www.nraila.org/gun-laws/state-gun-laws/arizona/: "Arizona respects the right of all U.S. citizens to carry a concealed handgun with or without a permit, or to carry openly while in this state. An Arizona resident permit can be obtained for the purposes of carrying concealed while in other states that offer recognition or reciprocity."
I view family and group protection as a personal responsibility whether or not a particular state makes this more or less difficult. Arizona’s law is quite consistent with my own beliefs, though would prefer that people seek proper training before exercising these rights.
During many years of camping and always having protection available, I’ve only experienced one incident where I felt the need to openly expose a firearm to avert a potential misunderstanding about my firm intention to protect my camp and companions, so I can live without open carry especially due to our group size. However, it is my intent to possibly open carry during our expedition, though may opt not to carry if others are doing so as I will benefit from their protection.
Should I carry concealed, including in my tent at night, you will not be aware of it.
In the interests of ensuring that everyone is comfortable during our trip, I’d like to open this conversation.
