Question: I am in the Air Force and I am stationed and a resident of Alaska. I am being stationed in Phoenix, Arizona. I have an Alaska CCW. I was wondering when I get to Arizona can I keep my Alaska CCW or do I have to become a Arizona resident since I will be living there even if I’m in the military and my state of residence is Alaska? Does the training course from Alaska which is 12 hours transfer to my application for a Arizona CCW or will I have to do it all over?
Answer: Since you are in the US Military and are being stationed here as part of your official duties, you are not required to become an Arizona resident. You can legally carry using your Alaska CCW permit, but you must carry in compliance with Arizona law. Unfortunately, your training in Alaska does not transfer to Arizona as far as Arizona CCW permit training is concerned. You might still want to take the Arizona course as it will teach you Arizona law regarding use of force and where you can legally carry your firearm the course is only 8 hours can be found at a reasonable price.
