Location Restrictions in California. A U.S. citizen or legal resident over age 18 may generally carry a handgun anywhere within his or her place of residence, place of business, or on private property owned or lawfully possessed by the citizen or legal resident.
However, U.S. Supreme Court decisions of Heller (2008) and McDonald (2010) established that the Second Amendment applies to all states within the Union, and many of California's gun laws are now being challenged in the federal courts.
Since Arizona has permitless carry, any person who is at least 18 years old who can legally possess a firearm may open carry, and any person at least 21 years old may concealed carry a firearm without a permit. Arizona will honor concealed carry permits from all other states' and political subdivisions.
Ing to Arizona gun laws, adults 18 to 20 may carry their guns in vehicles as long as the gun is an open carry. In a vehicle, open carry means that any person looking into the vehicle can see and identify the firearm. This is in contrast to concealed carry in vehicles, in which the firearm is hidden from view.
Arizona respects the right of all U.S. citizens to carry a concealed handgun with or without a permit, or to carry openly while in this state. An Arizona resident permit can be obtained for the purposes of carrying concealed while in other states that offer recognition or reciprocity.
In order to bring into California any guns bought or obtained out of state, California residents must have the weapons directly shipped to a licensed gun dealer.
In the United States, open carry refers to the practice of visibly carrying a firearm in public places, as distinguished from concealed carry, where firearms cannot be seen by the casual observer.
Can You Conceal Carry in Arizona Without a Permit? Yes, as of 2024, Arizona allows permitless concealed carry for residents who are 21 years old or older. However, there are still restrictions on where you can carry, such as in schools and government buildings.
In 2024, California passed several bills strengthening and refining existing laws to facilitate better implementation, including improvements to the state's gun violence restraining order law, secure storage laws, and reporting on firearm dealer inspections.
