Getting an AZ CCW Despite a Prior Felony Conviction…
Question: I had a felony when I was 18 and have since had all rights returned to me. I own several firearms, a silencer and a SBR that I did all the paperwork on with no issues, but someone had told me that just because the federal government passes me to own firearms AZ can deny me to have a CCW. Is this true or can I legally get an AZ CCW. I have never pursued it because I didnt want to waste my time and money. Thanks in advance for any info that you can provide.
Answer: Since you have had your civil rights restored including your rights to own a firearm, you have no issue getting an Arizona CCW. Arizona used to unconditionally deny convicted felons a CCW permit. The law changed in 2008 permitting those with a prior felony conviction whose right had been restored to get an Arizona CCW if they meet all the other qualifications.
