Sorry if I revive an old thread. Steve, your links could have been broken when photobucket did their latest 'update', if you allowed it, then your links _might_ have gotten broken that way.

"Oh but wait, there's more!"

I hate to admit that I am a Cali native. My family took several camping trips to AZ during my lifetime, the first one I remember was Oak Creek Canyon and Slide Rock about 1965; before Slide Rock was known.

Anyways, fast forward. I was turned on to cap 'n ball revolvers somewhere around 1992. And then I was enamored with the movie Tombstone. I took a ride on my motorcycle one day in 1994 out in rural Riverside County to shoot my C'nB revolvers. On the way back I got pulled over by RCSO. I had my revolvers in a case on a back rack held down with two bungee cords. Cali law said that I broke the law and I lost those two revolvers; got booked and released, but before that when the one deputy was asked by a fellow deputy, "What do you have there?" the reply was, "I've got the Outlaw Josie Wales". I am sure I was carrying weapons of mass destruction, right? I mean, really? BTW, I never was able to see those firearms again.

Then after a 're-up' I drove on down to Tombstone in 1995 and asked the locals about the carry laws. 123.DieselBenz, the change you thought happened in 2010 was already in place in 1995 (or even earlier). All I had to have was a bit visible. Loaded or not was not an issue, unlike Cali laws. I tested this in Tombstone by having a fully loaded pistol tucked into my waistband with the handle visible. The Tombstone Marshall took a look at me for a moment and then we passed on by.

That is when I decided I was an AZ native or at least AZ was my adopted home state.

I've got a few more stories I could tell about open carry in AZ, but for now, all I can do is look at the newest laws, miss my adopted home state and wait for the time I can return. I liked AZ before, I love it now. . . .
