Arizona requires no permit to purchase, gun registration, or waiting period. To buy from a dealer, show valid photo ID, complete ATF Form 4473, and pass the federal NICS background check. Federal law sets the minimum age at 18 for rifles and shotguns and 21 for handguns. Frames and receivers are considered firearms and must go through a dealer; most other parts ship directly.
Dealers in these communities all work for Tucson-area buyers:
Arizona allows permitless concealed carry for those 21 or older who can legally possess a firearm, and open carry is legal for adults. The Arizona concealed weapons permit, issued by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, offers benefits like reciprocity in more states, bypassing the NICS check at dealers, and access to restricted areas. Consult DPS or the Pima County Sheriff for clarification.
Most Arizona deer, elk, and javelina hunts are conducted through a draw system managed by the Arizona Game and Fish Department, with season dates varying by game management unit. Over-the-counter archery deer permits are also available. Legal firearms for deer include centerfire rifles, handguns, shotguns, and muzzleloaders. Refer to the 2026-27 Arizona Hunting Regulations for details on units near Pima County.
Tucson is surrounded by sky-island mountains offering Coues whitetail, desert mule deer and javelina, much of it within Coronado National Forest.
The Three Points Shooting Range, located 25 miles west of Tucson, is listed as a public range by the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
