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.
Thanks for the info. New to OC, am planing on getting my CCW permit soon.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.

Parks can not prevent you from carrying.
They can if it is posted, correct?
5. Limiting or prohibiting the discharge of firearms in parks and preserves except:
(a) As allowed pursuant to chapter 4 of this title.
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.They can if it is posted, correct?

I love Arizona....
I just recently moved here as we'll and I'm originally from New Jersey so you know I totally agree!
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.

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The sign is outdated and has no legal weight.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.
Some cities are deliberately leaving the signs up.Yes, and I did read it. I wanted to make sure that city parks could not do that even when still posted. Thanks.

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.
