How buying a gun in Phoenix works

Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Arizona law allows.

A slide, barrel or optic plate is not a firearm under federal law and ships to your door; the rules below apply only when you order a complete pistol. Arizona has no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. Federal age limits apply: 21 for a handgun from a dealer, 18 for a long gun. The firearm ships to the Arizona dealer you name at checkout. The dealer runs the federal background check when you complete ATF Form 4473.

Dealers in these communities all work for Phoenix-area buyers:

  • Mesa
  • Chandler
  • Glendale
  • Scottsdale
  • Gilbert
  • Tempe
  • Peoria

Carrying a gun in Maricopa County

Arizona has allowed permitless concealed carry since 2010 for adults 21 and over who are not prohibited, and open carry is lawful from 18. Schools, polling places, secured government buildings and posted property remain off limits. The concealed weapons permit is still issued by the Department of Public Safety and adds reciprocity and access to some posted places.

Hunting near Phoenix

Arizona allocates most rifle deer tags by draw for numbered game management units, with general seasons in October and November and over-the-counter archery tags. Javelina, not feral hogs, are the desert's second big game animal, with spring and fall seasons by draw. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal in general seasons.

Maricopa County is desert and city; deer and javelina hunts are drawn for the units north and east of the Valley, and most Phoenix shooters spend far more weekends at Ben Avery than in a blind.

The Ben Avery Shooting Facility north of the city is the largest public range in the state, and its pistol bays are where most Valley owners zero a new dot.

Public shooting ranges near Phoenix

These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you go.
