I have my permit.
AZ no longer requires the permit to carry concealed.
Whether to renew or not is my question.
On the one side, it allows me to purchase firearms without going through the background BS.
On the other side, even though it can really never be said, I feel comfortable with the arms I own, and don't foresee any purchases in the future.
I have never needed to show it to any LEO's, but I believe if I ever do, it shows that I might be a more responsible gun owner than some others.
Having a CCW puts me on someone's list somewhere, for whatever purpose.
Then again, letting it lapse probably still keeps me on the list.
If they ever to decide to repeal non-permitted carry, I'd hate to have to reapply for a permit.
I suppose I ought to just keep it, huh?
Edited to add: I forgot that it also gives me the right to carry in other states.
Never mind, I'll just keep it.
