Speaking of firearms in AZ... As I recall (and this law may have changed in the most recent sissy-fication of America) but in AZ, I believe that you can carry a pistol, out in the open (a hip holster for example) as a matter of course. You needed a special permit to carry concealed. A number of years ago, I was in a bar up in Bullhead City or Black Rock Canyon and they had a gun check at the entrance. Welcome to the West, my brother!
