Thank you. I'll definately check it out.

Just checked out the site. Incidentaly, what are the firearms laws like in AZ? The books can say one thing but in practice... well on paper you can own a gun in MA.

Open carry state and CCW supporter. A polite society is an armed socitey.

Out of state purchases need to be shipped to your local FFL dealer in your state for pistol purchases. Long gun purchases can be made to states inwhich we share a border with. I.e. a Utah resident may purchase a long gun in Arizona but if that same resident wanted to purchase a pistol the pistol would have to be shipped to an FFL dealer in Utah for the resident to purchase in that state. (but I could be wrong on that its been a few years since I purchased a long gun in another state).

Tubbs,

Smoking Joe is an AZ LEO.

AZ is a great state to own a firearm. Open carry laws are also outstanding!

Solid copy gents. The feedback is much appreciated.
I agree, open carry is wonderfull. MT is an open carry state. I am just getting used to the idea of personal freedoms (i.e. the 2nd ammendment), after having spent a good portion of my life living in the Democratic People's Republic of Massachusettes.
I just found out a soloution to my dilema. A friend of mine is friends with a local gun store owner and he has a Springfield operator in stock and owns a Sig GSR. He is gonna take me to the range tomorrow and put a few rounds through both. If I like the Springfield I can take it home from the range. If I like the Sig he'll get me one at cost (although I think I already put one of his kids through college at this point...).
I found all of htis out earlier today. A most fortuitous turn of events.
