I can tell you that after living in western Arizona for 35 years, sooner or later you will get tired of using an oven mitt to open your car door. Also, you will NOT get used to it.
Although Arizona's politics have shifted once again to the right in the last decade it still holds an open border with California, the introduction of "Constitutional Carry" in the state is something that I found surprising and I hope it remains. I can say from experience that the political leanings of the state of California have in the past greatly influenced Arizona simply because so many of thier residents have moved to AZ, with a failing economy on the left coast that possibility still exists.
Our daughters still live in AZ and we visit once or twice per year but we definitely try to make sure that it is before the first of June and after the end of September.
