I would assume that it is:
Permits issued to resident aliens; (Arizona does issue to legal resident aliens)
No classroom (static) training required; (No formal training in Arizona is now required. You can use other safety training now. When I got my permit in-state training was required)
No live-fire (dynamic) training required. (No live firing in Arizona is now required. You can use other safety training now. When I got my permit in-state live fire was required)
It looks like Arizona has loosened the requirements some by eliminating in-state training and live firing to make it easier for some to obtain an Arizona CCW. The issue of Arizona issuing to legal resident non-citizens can be debated as other states have lost in this regard when taken to court. Bob.
But classroom and live fire are both still required. They did loosen it up in that you don't have to take it within the borders...but you do still have to have training. I don't see the issue. I have an AZ permit. I applied after the changes in 2010. I couldn't use a copy of my PA permit (#6) because no training was required to get it. I couldn't use a PA Hunter Safety Cert (#2) because it didn't include a live fire portion.
Looks like the only real issue is the alien thing.
The only issue possibly is the alien thing..
AZ: E. The department of public safety shall issue a permit to an applicant who meets all of the following conditions:
1. Is a resident of this state or a United States citizen.
2. Is twenty-one years of age or older.
NM: A. The department shall issue a concealed handgun license to an applicant who:
(1) is a citizen of the United States;
(2) is a resident of New Mexico or is a member of the armed forces whose permanent duty station is located in New Mexico or is a dependent of such a member
But that section didn't change with SB1108.
