Further on Arizona:
* Do not bring into any place that serves alcohol for on-site consumption, AT ALL, even if it's a restaurant.
* Regardless of what the law says, court decisions have pretty much made it that the whole weapon needs to be visible, not just a portion of the holster.
* If you are carrying in a business and someone from the business asks you to put it in the car or leave, you must do so, even if it's not posted. Do not become indignant, but that doesn't mean you cannot ask to speak to the manager, calmly and politely, to ask if this is corporate policy. Then, follow up with the corporate office to verify this. Get the manager's name. Sometimes, local managers take it upon themselves to 'ban' firearms when company policy may not permit that. See Wal-Mart as an example.
* Discharge of a firearm w/o justification is a violation of state law if done within city limits. Note that the city of Peoria extends ALL the way up to Lake Pleasant. That whole desert area is off-limits to shooting and can get you in a heap of trouble.
* California: Technically, open carry of an UNLOADED firearm is legal. Magazines can not be loaded, even if not in the firearm, if they are on your person. Carry of a loaded firearm without a permit, is a crime.
* Nevada: Open carry technically legal, but you will get hassled on The Strip, and Boulder and North Las Vegas gun laws are more restrictive than the rest of the state because they were "grandfathered" when the state preemption law went into effect.
If you are a gun owner in Arizona, you really REALLY need to pick up a copy of Korwin's book. He's at all the Crossroads gun shows, and will even autograph one for free. Or get it directly from him at
