How buying a gun in Phoenix works

Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Arizona law allows.

Arizona requires no state purchase permit, registration, or waiting period. For dealer purchases, complete ATF Form 4473 and pass the federal NICS background check. Federal age restrictions apply: handguns at 21, rifles and shotguns at 18. Online orders ship to your chosen FFL in Arizona, where the dealer conducts the check and transfers the firearm upon approval. Bring a valid government ID with your current address.

Carrying a gun in Maricopa County

Since 2010, Arizona has allowed permitless concealed carry for adults 21 and older who legally own firearms. The optional Arizona CCW permit, issued by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, aids in reciprocal carry with other states and waives NICS checks for dealer purchases. Private property owners and certain public buildings may prohibit firearms—always observe posted restrictions.

Hunting near Phoenix

Arizona deer hunting operates on a draw system, with general rifle seasons for mule deer and Coues whitetail from October through December. Each unit has specific dates and quotas in the Arizona Hunting Regulations. Over-the-counter archery hunts are available in late summer and winter. Legal methods include centerfire rifles, handguns, muzzleloaders, and archery—verify your unit’s rules before hunting.

Phoenix's metro units provide limited archery deer hunting, pushing most hunters toward the Tonto National Forest or western desert zones. The Ben Avery range is managed by Arizona Game and Fish.

Phoenix shooters frequent the Ben Avery Shooting Facility off Carefree Highway, while hunters use the city as a base for quail, javelina, and mule deer in northern and western units.

Buying a gun in Phoenix: common questions

Can I buy a gun online and pick it up in Phoenix?

Yes. Order here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Glendale, Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix or anywhere in Maricopa County, and we ship the firearm to them. You fill out ATF Form 4473 at their counter and they run the background check.

Do I need a permit to buy a handgun in Arizona?

No. Arizona has no state purchase permit or waiting period. Federal law requires passing a background check at an FFL, and you must be 21 to buy a handgun from a dealer.

Can I carry concealed in Phoenix without a permit?

Yes. Adults 21 and older who legally own a firearm may carry concealed in Arizona without a permit. However, the state-issued CCW permit eases travel to other states.

How do Arizona deer tags work?

Most rifle deer tags are allocated via the Arizona Game and Fish Department draw. Some archery hunts offer over-the-counter tags. Consult the current Arizona Hunting Regulations for unit-specific details.

Which Taurus suits an apartment in Phoenix?

A G3c or an 856 revolver with a quick-access safe covers home defense; check the city's storage and transport ordinances.

Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
