Hey everyone,
I'm going to Arizona with my folks this Spring Break. I've never been there, and I'm wondering what the laws there are. Can you carry knives there? Like out in the desert? Fixed-blade knives?

In this free state, if you are of legal age, you can OPEN carry a gun around town. There are some exceptions like bars, restaurants and gvtcity buildings etc. Do a search for the Casa Grande shoot, and see what WE take to the desert.
