After only a 38 day wait, my Arizona CCW permit arrived in the mail today. The DPS website says expect up to a 75 day approval cycle, so it arrived in about half that time. Verna’s permit did not arrive yet, so we’re still waiting on hers. We hope it shows up within the next few days.
Even though Arizona is a Constitutional Carry state, Verna and I got our CCW training so we can carry in the 32 other states that recognize Arizona CCW permits. There are also several perks within Arizona, like being able to carry in restaurants that serve alcohol and the background check to purchase firearms is waived for permit holders.
