How to Register a Gun

The process of registration is not enforced within the state of Arizona. All residents are given the right to carry a concealed firearm without any type of permit as long as they are 21 or older and are not restricted persons according to the law (18 and older to carry openly). Even though a permit is not required within Arizona, it is still obtainable for those who would like to capitalize on the reciprocity available in other states.
