Purchasing
a firearm in Arizona
Buyer must not be a "prohibited
possessor" under federal or state law and be
• over 18 years of age in order to purchase
a long gun or
• over 21 in order to purchase a handgun.
• present government-issued photo ID which establishes name,
address, date-of-birth and carries a signature
• Correctly and completely fill out and sign form government
form 4473
• If not a U.S. citizen and not an immigrant visa foreign
nationals will need to present proof of exception status
• Be able to pay for his or her purchase
• The dealer will then call or fax the Arizona Firearms Clearance
Center for an Arizona clearance as well as a federal NICS (National
Instant Criminal Background Check System) check. Usually the check
itself will take less than a minute and the resultant answer is
either a proceed, a delay or a deny. A delay gives the FBI 3
days to clear it up and before which the firearm cannot be sold.
After 3 days the sale can take place automatically. A deny means
the sale cannot go through and the purchaser can contact the Arizona
Firearms Clearance Center to clear up the matter.
• An Arizona resident may then take possession of the firearm. Non-residents need
to comply with several additional criteria:
• the firearm must
be legally possessible in the buyer's state of residence
• the transaction must be legal in the purchaser's state
of residence
• Immediate possession of long guns is allowed if this
is allowed in the state of residence
• Purchased handguns will be shipped by the dealer in Arizona
to a licensed dealer (FFL [Federal
Firearms License]) in the state of residence.
At the Scottsdale Gun Club we will also ensure that
the purchaser is aware of the basic legal responsibilities of gun
ownership and also ensure that the buyer is acquainted with the rules
of gun safety as well as in the rudiments of maintenance and use
of the firearm.
