Do you have a current valid AZ CCW/CWP

[Ballistic Therapy]

As I have posted, I have continuously had an Az, CWP (not CCW-thanks Harrier) since 2002, the first year Az offered one.

I find it extremely convenient for bypassing the NICS system 'wait time', when buying from a FFL. Worth having one just for that, IMO.

FFL sellers luv it when I pull it out for a purchase!

Just curious , what wait time are you talking about?
I don't have a cwp and have never had to wait when purchasing a gun.
It takes about 5 minutes for the FFL to do the check and thats it.

Never had one, never will. No gov't permission slip needed. The political victory of getting the permit thing passed back in 94' was important,...as a step towards eventually obliterating weapon laws all together. But I'll be sheep-dipped and rolled in fire ants before I ever beg the crown.

Ballistic Therapy, five minutes isn't bad, but before I had a CWP, I can remember 15 to 20 minute waits. Today, I don't even want to put up with a 5 minute wait. :naughty:

And, thanks for the correction.

Suck My Glock, I truly can understand any proud and active Patriot thinking as you do. But, if the truth be told, one man's food is another man's poison. I look at these CWP cards as a government service purchase, not a permission slip. Kind'a like a driver license, social security card, credit card, debit card, triple AAA, etc. etc., they make my life a little easier, that's all.

Can they all be used against us?

ABSOLUTELY!!!

BUT,.... name something that can't?

If I prevented everything from coming into my life, that could turn around and bite me in the ass,.. I would have to live like a monk! :lol:

From time to time the NICS system goes down for a while which is a PIA for people and you can get delayed because your name is similar to some dirtbag's name or something like that.

My CCW gets me past that and that's all I care about. The second biggest thing about the Az permit is reciprocity in thirty some odd states. And lastly, the ability to carry in a quality restaurant as long as I don't imbibe.

All good things for me.

Had a guy waiting on NICS for 45 minutes the other day...

 

[LuckyLeaky]

No joke... the first time I waited 30 minutes for background, I signed up for a CCW the next day... now it takes longer for them to package the gun up than it does anything else

 

[shooter444]

well,....

"Would you be SOL on buying because you don't have one?"

... seems as though your premise is pretty much shot to hell, with the way your poll is turning out, looks like having one could be more common that you thought.

 

[LuckyLeaky]

Of topic but a little on topic... weren’t at one time we required to send in our old CCW when renewing???

I still have my first one back when they were laminated and lasted the entire period of time.

I wouldn't necessarily say my premise (if that's what you want to call it.) is shot to hell, this is a shooting forum after all.

I was just curious, and my poll turned out how I had hoped....with votes. :lol:

Why would some of you require a CCW? Average Joe gun buyer mostly likely won't have it.


I'm sorry, but, remembering this post of your's, gave me the idea you had developed a premise and was conducting a poll to confirm that premise.

Once again, I fail at correctly deciphering the true meaning of a post,... my bad.

Bottom line, either your poll proves that the average Joe does have a CWP, or, most members here are not an average Joe. :shifty:

 

[XJThrottle]

Probably the latter.

Most of my friends are average Joe "gun people", couple hand guns, rifles, a shot gun or two.. None of them have a CCW/CWP.

 

[Boriqua]

I guess seeing a CCW with a Drivers license to make sure the two match could prevent you from selling to a Prohibited Possessor but ... I have never asked to see one.

I think the verbiage is something like "its illegal to sell to a known prohibited possessor" but I have never read information that you are obliged to vet in a private sale.

I dont usually buy used guns but I wouldn't mind flashing my CCW to make a purchase. I got it years ago because I hate waiting on the nics check.

I am not one of those guys who gets angry because a seller stipulates this or that. If his demands are to high for me to accept I just move on. I have plenty of toys already.

I guess I have fewer average Joe shooting friends than you, because all but one have a CWP .

My guess is, more guys have them,... than what most guys figure!

Nope,... never even heard of it,... at least not in the 16 years I have had a CWP. I still have every one ever issued to me.

 

[Longhair1957]

Yep, got one.

 

[LuckyLeaky]

Man... I’m trying to remember where I heard that... I’ve never done it but it popped in my head when I sent my renewal out the other week

I don't think they're "average" gun people. I know a bunch of average gun people and they probably have more guns than that in their bathroom and all of them have a CCW, even the women.

 

[Shifty]

I was in from the git-go when AZ first began the program...

 

[Steve_In_29]

Haven't gotten mine yet but will. More for ease of buying from retail though and not private party. My money should be all the seller needs to see.
