Relating to CCW permit reports.
Provisions
1. Requires ADPS to submit its annual CCW permit report electronically. (Sec. 1)
2. Expands the report to include any changes made in the previous year to a written agreement with another state. (Sec. 1)
Current Law
A.R.S. § 13-3112 outlines the process for obtaining a CCW permit and the criteria that an applicant must meet. Permits are issued by ADPS and a person must carry it at all times while carrying a weapon. A person who fails to have the CCW permit while carrying is subject to a civil penalty of up to $300. By law, ADPS must issue a CCW permit to applicants who meet specific requirements outlined in statute.
A person must demonstrate the level of competence with a firearm as outlined in law and provide proof of having completed a training program (or have demonstrated competence in any state or political subdivision in the United States). This statute also requires ADPS to maintain a record of the number of CCW permits requested, issued and denied, and to report this information to the Governor and Legislature annually.
Additional Information
ADPS is required to recognize CCW permits issued by another state if the permit meets certain criteria (reciprocity). Additional information on reciprocity can be found on the ADPS website.
According to ADPS, there are currently 327,549 valid Arizona CCW permits. More information on the CCW program can be found here.
