We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

That's pretty much it. There may be some local parks that still require a CWP even if you open carry. I dunno... I never go to such parks. 'Worst that can happen is you'll be asked to leave. I've never heard of that happening tho.
That's what I understood from reading the law. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!
More info:
Places that serve alcohol for consumption on premises;
No open carry.
If you carry, you must have a concealed carry permit, carry discretely and may not consume alcohol.
If the place is posted No Firearms, you can't legally carry discretely there even with a permit.

Thanks for the info. New to OC, am planing on getting my CCW permit soon.
They can if it is posted, correct?
No, unless it's a private park. But even then they would have to ask you to leave.

Which reminds me of what I saw the other weekend but this may be private property;

We (AzCDL) got the state preemption laws strengthened via HB 2543 back in 2010. The new law prevents local governments from banning carry in their parks. I don't have the statute handy, but if you go to the Arizona State Legislature's website and look up HB 2543 from the 2010 session you can find the law.

You can't carry a paperclip in NJ w/o a permit. The difference in freedom tends to shock the senses of most people who'e been denied RKBA where they came from. The real awakening will come the first time you encounter a LEO while openly armed. Nothing happens.
Oh, sometimes the LEO engages the OC person in a lengthy conversation about firearms and best places to get ammo.
If you OC while riding a motorcycle around town, a passing Tucson motor-cop might give you a grin or a thumbs up.
What if it's a public city park and the sign says limited to concealed carry permit holders? I OC there and nothing has been said even when park ranger or whatever they are called was there.
The sign is outdated and has no legal weight.
We shared the preemption statute with you.
Yes, and I did read it. I wanted to make sure that city parks could not do that even when still posted. Thanks.

Some cities are deliberately leaving the signs up.
Down here in Tucson, they refused to rescind their local ordinance banning guns in parks after it was nullified by preemption. I don't visit the city parks (too many vagrants and low class types) but I bet the signs are still there.

I'm in Peoria, and they still have the signs up. We go there for the kids to ride bikes. Thanks again for the info.
