When the firearm arrives to our store, we will inform you when the item is ready for you to pick up. At this time, you’ll need to come in and complete all necessary background check paperwork, just as you would if you purchased the firearm in person. You will also need to pay the transfer fee.

If you purchase a gun from a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL), the dealer is required by federal law to conduct a background check.
Arizona law defines a prohibited possessor as a person who is not allowed to possess a firearm due to a court order, felony conviction, age limitation, or another reason. If you are a prohibited possessor, you could face felony charges for possessing a gun.
Assuming that the buyer is old enough (18 for rifle and shotgun ammunition, 21 for pistol ammo), Arizona law does not forbid the shipping of ammunition to residential addresses. The carrier might ask for an adult to sign for the package, though.
The state does offer a concealed carry permit. With that said, there is constitutional carry in the state, which allows residents to carry both open and concealed in many places without a permit.
There are no gun registration requirements in Arizona. If you move to Arizona, you have the option of applying for an Arizona Concealed Weapons Permit, but you do not necessarily need one to concealed carry legally.
No. You can order a firearm online and have it shipped to an FFL dealer in your area. You will need to pass a background check to take possession of the firearm.
Generally, Arizona is among the most permissive states in the country. There are no state-level bans on rifles, pistols, or shotguns of any kind. Additionally, state law forbids localities from placing such bans within the state. In effect, as long as federal laws are followed, Arizona is fine with anything that the ATF is.
Very few firearms are considered illegal under Arizona gun laws. Specifically, the law prohibits the sale and possession of:
- Automatic weapons (machine guns), including any firearm that will fire more than one round with a single pull of the trigger.
- Short-barreled rifles, including any rifle with a barrel that is less than 16 inches long.
- Short-barreled shotguns, including any shotgun with a barrel that is less than 18 inches long.
- Sawed-off weapons, including any rifle or shotgun that has been modified to an overall length of less than 26 inches.
The rules of gun safety apply to any firearm, including a handgun, rifle, or shotgun. They also apply to people of all ages.
- Always treat a gun as if it is loaded. This mindset can help to avoid tragic accidents.
- Always ensure that the gun is pointed in a safe direction while handling it. Never point a gun toward anything you do not intend to shoot, kill, or destroy. No exceptions.
- Keep your finger straight along the side of the gun (outside of the trigger guard) until you are ready to fire.
- Always be certain of your target and what lies beyond it.
- Learn how your gun works mechanically and how it feels when the gun is working properly.
- Use the right ammunition for the gun and your intended purpose. Different ammunition may suit different purposes, and it is important to choose properly.
- Always check the barrel for obstructions before loading the gun. Be sure to keep the gun pointed in a safe direction while doing so.
- Do not depend on a gun's safety switch to prevent it from firing. Some guns do not have a safety switch.
- In the event that the gun does not fire when you pull the trigger, remain in a shooting position for several additional seconds. Then, keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction, unload the weapon carefully, including the chambered round.
- Always know your surroundings when handling or holding a gun. Losing your balance or tripping could cause you to accidentally point or fire the weapon at an unintended victim or target.
ARS 13-3120 regulates knives in the State of Arizona and expressly prohibits local governments from regulating, among other things, their possession, transport, or use. "Knife" means a cutting instrument and includes a sharpened or pointed blade. Under ARS 13-3101, a "deadly weapon" means anything that is designed for lethal use. The term certainly includes a firearm, but does not specifically include knives. Knives are generally regarded as tools. However, knife carriers must obey laws that govern concealed weapons or that prohibit them from certain places (including courtrooms and other government buildings).
A pocket knife is a folding knife with a blade less than 4 inches in length. It is not considered a deadly weapon under ARS 13-3102 and a citizen of any age may lawfully carry a pocket knife concealed on his or her person, within his or her immediate control in or on a means of transportation. However, even pocketknife carriers may be required to obey the laws that govern concealed weapons or that prohibit them from certain places (including courtrooms and other government buildings).
