Arizona has no state purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. At the dealer you complete ATF Form 4473 and pass the federal NICS check. Federal age rules apply at a dealer: 21 for handguns and 18 for rifles and shotguns. Online orders ship to the Arizona FFL you choose, who runs the check and hands over the gun once it clears.
Dealers in these communities all work for Tombstone-area buyers:
Arizona has allowed permitless concealed carry since 2010 for adults 21 and older who can legally own a firearm. The optional Arizona CCW permit comes from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, not the county, and helps with carry in other states. Private property owners and some public buildings can still ban weapons, so read the posted signs.
Arizona deer hunting runs mainly on the Game and Fish draw, with general rifle hunts for mule deer and Coues whitetail spread from October into December by Game Management Unit. Some archery deer hunts are over the counter. Centerfire rifles, handguns and muzzleloaders are legal on the right hunt. Check the 2026-27 Arizona Hunting Regulations for your unit.
Cochise County deer tags come through the Arizona Game and Fish draw, and the Sierra Vista public range is a short drive west.
Coues whitetail and mule deer live in the Dragoons and Huachucas, and desert quail are thick on the grasslands between.
The public ranges below are run or officially listed by state wildlife agencies and state forests near the cities we cover. Most ask for a hunting or fishing license, an access permit or a small daily fee, and some close for the season, so check the agency page before you drive out.
