Member Link Up Im moving to AZ

[blazinpixels]

Im tired of Iowa and the shooting sucks.

I am moving to Phoenix AZ in the next few weeks.
Probably gonna wing it as far as finding a nice apt
and job.

Is it true you can open carry?

Can I walk around with a rifle on my back?

Where are the spots to shoot beyond 500 yards?

Re: Im moving to AZ

Outside of Phoenix I have definitely seen people open carry; but not in the city limits. My son lives out there and Phoenix itself is not a paradise, believe me. Just don't speed there, they have traffic cameras everywhere like a stinking police state. Traffic is horrible as well like any big city. Tempe and Chandler are nice.

Re: Im moving to AZ

If you don't want that "city" life,stay away from Phnx. Chandler and Gilbert are little Sand Diego's and other Californicated suburbs. There are plenty of places outside these areas that are VERY rural. Open carry is fine in AZ. Yes, you can walk around with a rifle on your back. In these desert areas,shooting 500+ is no problem. Bring lot of water.See ya.

Re: Im moving to AZ

I have places in both AZ and CA. AZ wins hands down. Open carry all you want, just don't conceal it without a CCW. It's a shall issue state, so no problem.

I cannot recomend downtown Phoenix, but depending on what you are looking for, Chandler (where I live), Awahtukee, Tempe, Gilbert, parts of Mesa are nice.

Scottsdale is nice, but too much of Los Angeles wannabes.

Not sure what line of business you are in, but the job market sucks. Housing is pretty cheap, not sure how it compares to IA.

PM me if you want more info.

Oh yeah..... best looking women in the country... (flame suit on)

Re: Im moving to AZ

That is true about the women. I've been all over the world; but never seen better than there (except maybe Moscow). Lots of gold diggers in Scottsdale. The trouts like to hang out there to pick up the young ones, at least that's what I've been told.

Re: Im moving to AZ

Well I hope you like it there cause I am gonna be there when I get back.I hope the job market doesnt suck too bad. I am looking to get into law enforcement but I have an A&P license so I can work at an airport in the meantime. I cant wait to leave CA when I get back from the Desert...

BR4V0.C0MP4NY-Welcome!
Brush up on your spanish......
Hopefully you have a job lined up, because there's folks lined up for most of them currently.

"Can I carry a rifle slung?"-obviously you didn't catch the news when there were AR's being legally and peacefully carried the last time Obama was here speaking....try that in a real police state!

Re: Im moving to AZ

what side of Town did you end up on. I am on the west side, used to work on the east side and I'll say this. I prefer the west side of town.

Best thing about the east side is Rio Salado range......

 

[akabaron]

Re: Im moving to AZ

If you watch the news about 95% of the crime happens on the west side. I prefer the East side, live in Tempe, used to live in chandler. You could not pay me to live on the West side. Rio Shooting is okay but prefer the Desert but in the summer time a roof over your head w/shooting is a must

Re: Im moving to AZ

i avoid the valley as much as possible thats why i stay up here in the pine trees. very little crime and people dont even look at you when you open carry up here they are so used to seeing it. glad you made it out if your ever need to get away from the city or just want to come out and shoot sometime come on up.

Re: Im moving to AZ

We have our next precision rifle match Nov. 21st. 8am at phoenix rod and gun.

It would be nice to see some folks from the hide to show, unlike the arizonashooting crowd where there are 12 pages of precision rifles photos and not one person who shoots.

Good luck to you.

That's what hat's are for!

Best shooting in the metro Phx area are Scott's monthly precision rifle matches!

Liar! Didn't you shoot it with a 16" with Wolf ammo once?

Thanks for the pack, it was just what I needed!
