I am looking to make sure that I have done my research correctly and understand the laws that Arizona has in place to restrict our second amendment rights. I open carried in Wisconsin before they had concealed carry in effect and moved to Texas shortly after it was implemented. Never carried in Texas because I had to be a resident for a period of time and also never had that chunk of cash to put down on extra training and permits. Texas doesn't recognize out of state training. Anyway I am moving to AZ for school and am glad that I won't have to go around defenseless anymore for the most part (stupid college :banghead. From my understanding anyone not prohibited can carry openly or concealed because of the recent changes for constitutional carry. It is also my understanding that Indian reservations are a bad place to carry unless you fully understand their laws and even so is still a bad idea because they can differ from AZ. Although the out of reach and unloaded just passing through is okay because of a federal law. Other places that you cannot carry are places that serve alcohol including restaurants that may serve alcohol. Although if you have a permit and conceal it then you have no problem. Lastly, a college campus can make extreme restrictive policies including not even allowing a firearm to be secured in a vehicle. So you must know your campus policy to the letter to avoid being a criminal. I've read up on the attempts to make it so a college cannot make such rules and I very much support this since I will have to be on campus majority of my next three years.
During my research it was my goal to find out what form of carry was legal and how to go about it. Without a permit system that makes it a lot easier to understand. I wanted to know how this extended to vehicles. If some of you can elaborate on the transportation of firearms including long guns that you don't carry I would appreciate it. For the longest time in Wisconsin it had to be cased until the concealed carry laws came in. Even for open carry we had to unload, case the weapon. When we wanted to carry we would have to load up in the parking lot. Yet again if you didn't have a permit to carry. Open carry in vehicles was considered concealed by some. One of the members on this forum won a lengthy legal battle on that subject. I also wanted to know where carry was restricted besides the people who post signs in the window and do not want my money. I look forward to your responses and hope we can make this thread useful for those who are new.
