How to Obtain an Initial Arizona Concealed Weapon Permit

General: Arizona issues one permit and does not differentiate between resident and non-resident. Nonresidents
may apply for a permit upon completion of the initial 8 hour class. Training must take place in
Arizona.

Certain law enforcement personnel and county detention officers may be exempt from this requirement.

Requirements:

1. Must be a United States citizen or permanent resident alien.
Note: Persons who were born outside of the United States or one of its territories must send a copy of (or
present in person) proof of citizenship or alien status. This is a one-time requirement. Any of the
following documents are acceptable:

• Certificate of Naturalization
• Resident Alien Card
• Record of Birth Abroad
• Record of Birth to Armed Forces Personnel
• US Passport

2. Must be lawfully present in the United States.

3. Must be at least 21 years of age.

4. Not under indictment or have not been convicted of a felony in the U.S. or elsewhere.

5. Not convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence.

6. Not under court order (i.e. order of protection, harassment, etc.)

7. Not a fugitive from justice.

8. Not a user of or addicted to any controlled substance.

9. Not been dishonorably discharged from the Armed Forces.

10. Have never renounced U.S. citizenship.

11. Do not suffer from mental illness and have not been adjudicated mentally incompetent or committed to a mental institution.

12. First time and renewal concealed weapon permit applications are processed by Department of Public Safety Criminal Records Specialists. The application data is entered into our CCW database. Background criminal history checks are performed utilizing several systems:

• Arizona Criminal Justice Information System (ACJIS)
• National Crime Information Center (NCIC)
• Arizona Crime information Center (ACIC)
• National Instant Background Check System (NICS)
• Interstate Identification Index (III)
• Automatic Fingerprint Information System (AFIS)
• Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI)

Our policy is to deny a concealed weapon permit to an applicant due to any disqualifiers in accordance toU.S. Federal (18 U.S.C. § 922) and Arizona State (ARS §13-3112). If no disqualifying criminal history record is found, the concealed weapon permit is issued contingent on the FBI background check based on the submitted fingerprints.
13.Have satisfactorily completed a DPS approved CCW Training Program (8 hours). Permit training
must take place within Arizona. Applicants trained outside of Arizona are subject to be suspended or
revoked, as well the instructor and organization. Certain law enforcement officers and county detention
officers are exempt from the initial training.

Connecticut (Can be obtained by Mail)

Non-Residents:

Non Residents check “Here” on how to apply and for printable application. Cost is $70.00. DPS posts these Instructions for how to apply. I found the instructions hard to understand. You will find phone numbers and email address to contact
the Connecticut DPS by clicking on Instructions above. I have found Connecticut to be shall Issue though their law says they may issue. As long as you meet the criteria they will issue you a permit. CT is no longer listing the Application form on their web site but the old link still works to the application as in the first part of this section. I would call them. The cost has also double for Resident and Non Resident permits. This is what they say on their website.
