One of the main benefits of an Arizona CCW Permit is the ability to expand the places where a person can legally carry a self-defense firearm. Arizona Residents with an AZ CCW Permit can legally carry concealed in 37 states outside of Arizona. Non-Residents with an AZ CCW Permit can legally carry in 30 states including Arizona. It is very important to note that some states, South Carolina for example only honor a AZ CCW Resident Permit. So as a Non-Resident AZ CCW Permit holder you can legally transport your firearm, by vehicle or airplane, and possess it while in South Carolina, take it to the range and shoot it, but you cannot carry it concealed on your body, purse or glove compartment.

Also, every state has slightly different laws related to Self-Defense. For example, Arizona is a “Stand Your Ground” state meaning you have No Duty To Retreat from a self-defense situation. Some states do not have the same law. It is very important to understand the local laws for each state or area where you plan to carry your firearm. Our course discusses Arizona’s specific self-defense and firearms laws as well as general Federal Laws for legally carrying and transporting firearms in the United States. 

States such as California, for example, do not recognize an Arizona Concealed Carry Permit. So if you are a California resident with an AZ CCW Permit, you cannot legally carry a concealed firearm in California. You can carry your firearm concealed in Arizona and 29 other states. If you have a California CCW and an Arizona CCW you can legally carry in both states and other states that have Reciprocity Agreements with Arizona. Keep in mind that a handful of states like California have different laws regarding the rules of engagement for self-defense situations and certain types of firearms, magazine capacity and accessories are not allowed, so it’s important to know the laws of both states and other states where you plan to be armed. Our AZ CCW Online courses will discuss theses topics and other important laws and resources for you to aware of. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO WATCH AND LEARN ABOUT THE AZCCWOnline COURSES AND PROCESSES

The National Firearms Act of 1936 (NFA) and Gun Control Act of 1986 impose strict regulations on the ownership of certain firearms and accessories, but an NFA Trust provides a legal pathway to navigate these regulations seamlessly. With an NFA Trust, you can simplify the process of acquiring and managing Title 2 Class 3 firearms, making it easier and more secure for you and your family to own and enjoy these regulated firearms.

Silencers: More Than Just Quiet

One of the most sought-after items in the Title 2 Class 3 category is the Silencer, and for good reason. Beyond the obvious noise reduction, silencers offer a several benefits:

• Hearing Protection for Home Defense: In high-stress home defense situations, protecting your hearing is crucial. Silencers significantly reduce the noise produced by a firearm, especially indoors, making it safer for you and your loved ones while giving you a tactical advantage.

• Enhanced Shooting Performance: Silencers can improve your overall shooting performance by minimizing muzzle rise and recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots and greater control.

• Preserving Your Passion: Enjoy shooting sports without the hassle of ear protection, and be considerate to those around you by minimizing noise pollution. 

• Silencers make your shooting experience more enjoyable for everyone involved, especially for beginners, spouses and children with sensitive hearing. They are also a great tool for safely cleaning firearms and minimizing the problems that may arise from an accidental discharge.

Secure Your Legacy: NFA Trusts for Future Generations

Life is unpredictable, and we understand the importance of ensuring that your passion for firearms is passed down seamlessly to future generations. An Attorney Drafted NFA Trust allows you to appoint co-trustees and designate beneficiaries who can legally possess and enjoy NFA items listed in your trust, even in your absence.

How Does It Work?

• Co-Trusteeship: By appointing co-trustees, you ensure that trusted individuals, such as family members or close friends, have the legal authority to possess and manage NFA items listed in your trust. This means that your firearm collection remains in capable hands, even if you’re not personally present or deceased. A major benefit is that Responsible Persons named in the trust can take NFA items listed in the trust shooting without you being present.

• Beneficiary Designations: Designating beneficiaries in your NFA Trust allows them to inherit and legally possess NFA items without the need for a separate ATF application or approval process. This streamlined approach simplifies the transfer of ownership and ensures a seamless transition of your collection. 

• Quick Modifications: Needs to add or remove co-trustees and beneficiaries? We provide No-Hassle modifications to your trust as your needs change. Simply contact the AZCCWOnline NFA Trust Team and we’ll guide you through the process.

• No-Limit: List unlimited numbers of items in your trust. If you plan on adding multiple Suppressors/Silencers, Short Barreled Rifles, Short Barreled Shotguns and Machine Guns to your collection our NFA Trusts are constructed to expand your legal ownership quickly and efficiently.

• Restrictive States: If your primary residence is in a restrictive state such as California, for example, but you have a secondary residence in a state like Arizona where you can legally own Suppressors and Short Barreled Rifles, an NFA Trust will help expand your firearms ownership options.

• Expedited ATF Approval Process: With a bullet-proof Attorney Drafted NFA Trust, the ATF approval process is streamlined and in many cases may help expedite your application and approval by minimizing mistakes and ATF rejections.
