I was under the impression Nevada no longer honored Arizona.

They stopped honoring AZ permits, then the law changed and now they do again

I looked it up after Roy's response. I did not know the law changed again. That is great news.

I'll admit that I missed the part in the middle where NV stopped honoring AZ for a while... LOL.

It has been a long time since my initial permit, but my renewals have been turned around very quickly, less than 2 weeks. I also do my LEOSA qualification renewal annually. The Permit unit also does them. They are very good on turnaround, only a couple days last year. This year doesn't count since I hand carried it into the office and would have had it immediately but the card machine was in use with a large backlog of permits being processed. I had the Leosa card two days later via the mail. I may have cheated a little since I'm a DPS volunteer...

Is getting an AZ permit difficult as a non-resident?

I live in NV, got my non-resident AZ permit in 3 weeks. Payed the fee, followed the directions and had no problems.

It's been years since I did my initial permit, but you had to take an AZ certified class. I'm not sure if anyone outside AZ offers them.

AZ takes a copy of another State permit or a DD-214 as evidence of training. Other "adequate" training is also acceptable as specified in the statute.

Around here, the Utah CCW instructors usually include instructions for AZ and FL permits with the packets.
