Hello all,
Been a lurker for a while, popping in occasionally and reading some threads.
I am from Houston, have my CHL and have been carrying here for a while now. I have never had a chance to OC, as I have not actually visited an OC state since I obtained my CHL.
However, my father recently acquired a house up in Prescott (he has been looking for a place to semi-retire, and I think he has found it.) I will be traveling to Prescott for about a week at the end of December to see him and my mom.
So....I want to open carry while I am there.
I have read Arizona's firearms laws, pertaining to concealed carry/open carry and believe that I have a firm grasp of what they mean. They are not too different from Texas law - with of course the exception of open carry. So, I am familiar with concealed carry, but not at all with open carry.
So, the two main questions I have are these:
-How is open carry looked upon in Prescott? I understand that it is practically on Gunsite's doorstep, and I would imagine that residents would be used to OC in the area, but I would like to hear from some folks who live there or who OC there regularly.
-Indian Reservations: I cannot find any information on this, and have only hearsay to go by on this. I may very well be doing some traveling on Indian land. Will I be able to carry, either open or concealed? I have heard of people having their handguns confiscated (and not returned) for carrying on Indian land. (Like I said, it is just hearsay, and I am not inclined to believe it, but once again I would like some first-hand accounts.)
I would appreciate any help that you can offer - I would like to make my first OC experience go as smoothly as possible.
Thanks,
Eric
