Rather urgent question regarding AZ CCW

Tricky

New member
Evening fellow sheepdogs. I have a strange situation. I moved from AZ a few months ago, and forgot to notify the authorities in AZ as I seem to remember a piece of paper telling me to do. It happens to be MD which does not honor. I am aware I cannot CC in MD. My question is do I really need to tell them I moved? Can I still CC in VA and NC when I travel there once I cross state line? Is my permit void permanantly because I moved or is it good until it expires? Am I going to eat some penalty or fine for not notifying fast enough? I cant find this information on the AZCCW website so im guessing its not a terribly big deal, I intend to move back to AZ within the year so id rather not spend the money and the wait all over again.
 
Tricky, If you are planning to move back,I would just Keep quite about it.Making sure you Observe all the laws and Regulations.But keep your AZ permit
 
AZ issues non resident permits. You should have no issue converting your resident permit to a non resident permit. Contact them for more information. I would do so prior to carrying on a permit that may no longer be valid.
 
I have AZ resident CCW. On the back of my card it says: This permit must be presented with an official form of photo identification (driver's license from any state, "........... So, it appears to me that the resident and non-resident permits must be the same. I don't think you need to say anything, but that is just my guess. I would call them and ask, AZ permit people seem very competent and fast. I would think most people moving away would probably not think of calling them, so calling this late, they shouldn't penalize you. And a lot of AZ residents are gone every summer.

When I moved to AZ, I already had a Utah non-resident. I called them and they changed my address and thanked me. No new card required then.
 
Notifying AZ DPS

I lived in Arizona prior to moving to Washington, and I never contacted the DPS when I moved. It is not necessary, unless you are moving within the state of Arizona. I had to wait ninety days to apply for a Wahington CPL, and was amazed that the state does not require any kind of training or proof that you know how to handle your weapon of choice. Two hundred and fifty thousand Washingtonians carry concealed, and very, very few have had so much as having someone teach them about firearms I do send kudos to Arizona for instituting 'Constitutional Carry.' WTG, AZ!

I don't see anything in AZ statutes saying you must inform when you move. Since you're planning to move back don't worry about it. If you will not be back in AZ before time for renewal I would suggest calling AZ to let them know of your new address so they know where to mail your renewal packet.

I have an AZ permit...it doesn't say Non-resident so they make no distinction between resident and non. In fact, my address isn't even on the permit.
 
Some states have time sensitive requirements for stuff like this and the time period may vary from state to state. If you go over the time limit and something happens, even for a driver's license, you might have a hard time.
 
g50 thats one of the greatest pics evar. ty for that. also ty everyone for the speedy and informative replies.
 
Notification of move......

Rather than open up the flood of "opinions" of helpful "sheepdogs" (of which I consider myself one), simply call the AZ CHL/CCW office. I doubt they'd trace youir call, and I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut hole they'd give you the straight skinny. Why wouldn't they?

Matter of fact, let me know, and I'll make the call for you. THAT oughta confuse 'em......

Kent
 
I got it off by heating the area around the hub a little with a torch then beat it out enough to get a steel wedge between all three bolt locations. By working the wedge in a little then going around at each bolt tab, it finally came off. Looks like the protector mounted on the shaft end that covers the inside of the bearing should have a rubber seal of some kind to keep dirt out of bearing, cuz they are easy to bend out of shape. Anyway got it done.
 
Tricky, if your plan is to return to Arizona, you may be able to retain your AZ permit. If you are a resident of Arizona most of the year, maintain an Arizona driver's license, register your car in Arizona, and file an Arizona resident income tax return, you should have no problem. On the other hand, I'm not a legal expert. But if I were you, I would do what Kent recommended...contact Arizona DPS CHL/CCW and update them with your temporary change of address.
 
Kent, thanks for your "serious" and "informative" reply. My thinking was that when you call asking about your CCW in regards to moving they will usually ask a question or 2, like your name and permit # before assisting you with your questions as most official Government agnecies have a policy of doing.

Likely if I had just kept my mouth shut nothing would have happened, but since I called they will be more than happy to update that I have moved in the system, where the information is then passed to a monkey or robot who stamps it invalid due to no longer being a technical resident. Likely unknown to the polite and good-hearted operator at DPS. A good "sheepdog" knows the only authority you can fully trust is yourself.

Paranoia in rational doses is quite healthy and may even save your life, or your permit.
Anyway the point of the post was to get a straight quote of law one way or the other. Since it seems to be the same as the grey area for DL's where you are supposed to call
but nobody really cares if you dont (except for Kent) I think I will crack a beer and celebrate being an American with balls of steel and plenty of ammo especially in states
that try to oppress my right to do so. No offense if any enthusiast has found a way to love MD which I doubt with ferocity.
