No FBI NICS Background Check
With an AZ CCW permit, you avoid going through the FBI's NICS check, and avoid being tracked by the Justice department for exercising your Second Amendment rights.
Concealed Carry in Bars & Restaurants
Arizona CCW Permit Holders may enter bars or restaurants where alcohol is served while carrying a concealed weapon, provided you personally do not consume alcohol. [ARS 4-229(A)].
Better Treatment by Law Enforcement
When interacting with law enforcement, the officer will immediately know that you have taken training and that you have passed a thorough background check.
