I want to carry my pistol in the state, what do I need to do to do it legally? I'm from arizona. In arizona I didn't need anything whatsoever to open carry or conceal carry. I've open carried rifles walking on the side walk of main roads in arizona. I understand you cannot do that here and it's concealed only. But my question is what do I need to do to do it legally? Also I heard there is a waiting period to buy a gun?
