AZ CCW requirement on its way to historical trashheap...

Florida could fix that problem by honoring nonresident permits. I like the idea of Vermont style carry, but agree that such states should also offer a license for their residents that wish to carry abroad.

Good news but I have to ask: will Arizona continue to issue permits for the benefit of citizens traveling in other states?

Yes. A permit will still be issued for those that want them: 1)for reciprocity, 2) for the "instant" background check, 3) to allow carry in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol, and have not posted "no guns" (no imbibing allowed.)

We will retain our permits for travel purposes as well.

This is a footnote on Florida's website concerning reciprocity:

"2) The State of VERMONT is unique in that it does not issue weapon/firearms licenses. Florida licensees - indeed, licensed or unlicensed citizens from any state - may carry in Vermont. This presents a problem for reciprocity with Florida. Florida law provides that an out-of-state resident must have in his or her immediate possession a valid license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm. Since Vermont residents have no such license, the right to concealed carry cannot be extended to them under Florida law."

Which is why we won't be "Free" until all 50 states allow us to carry without a license.

There will continue to be large numbers of Arizona residents who file for CCW permits due to the fact that they will need one for it to be recognized by any other state that they travel in.
