I agree the AZ non resident would be better than my NH, but I understand that to obtain the permit, you must physically take their 8 hr course in AZ. Question? Can you now do it by mail like NH? Would be nice, but also planning to go to AZ this spring and take test then if I have to. Cost would be the 60 plus another 50 or 60 for teacher.
Thank you for the confirmation. Will call them today for app packet.
All you need for AZ CWP is a application from them. Make sure you put SC-CWP on back middle and sign it also send a copy of your SC-CWP certificate and finger print cards and $60 money order. You will also need to send a copy of you CWP front and back.
Copy of your permit OR training certificate....you do not need to supply both. :no:
Yes you need both, make a copy of your training certificate and a copy of your CWP front and back.
I only sent a copy of my NRA Basic cert...no copies of any of my permits... no problem.
Why would you think you need to send both?
Thats what they told me to do a copy of the tranning certificate and a copy of my CWP front and back. They would not know if you got a permit from your home state if you don't send it. By you just sending your NRA Basic will that be enough?
They told you? Did you bother to read and understand the application process? According to ARS § 13-3112(E)(6)(b-d), this is the procedure.

Received my CWP last year. Card only. Wife just received hers, card only. Sounds like everyone else is receiving certificates. Has anyone gotten their AZ permit without both?
