How's that? I think the NICS-check excemption is dependant upon background checks, not training. Does the bill leave a background check as part of the renewal process?

My understanding is that a CCW may be used in place of a NICS check, if that CCW is renewed with a background check at least every five years.
My understanding is that when you renew in Arizona, they do a NICS check as part of the renewal.
But, if they stop doing the renewal, as part of this bill, then your CCW will only be able to suffice for five years in lieu of a NICS check.
As I said, I am not sure if this is a disqualifier from supporting the bill. On the one hand, I usually only wait a minute of two to get qualified in the NICS check. It is nice not to have to wait with the CCW, but I would have to buy a lot of guns for the wait on the NICS to equal the hours for the renewal class.
Just something to think about.

The text of the bill is here. It strikes this sentence from 13-3112(M):
"A certificate of completion of a two-hour refresher firearms safety training program approved by the director of the department is required before a renewal permit may be issued and shall accompany an application for renewal."
Unless there's something I'm missing, permits still must be renewed every five years, and the state will still do a background check. If this bill were made law, your CCW would still exempt you from the NICS check

Well, that's what I get for spouting off without checking. Typical lawyer, huh?
