That is correct unless they ask and then you are required to inform them you are armed.I've always been surprised that in Washington state the LEO's don't seem to know (or care?) that you have a CPL. Any time I've been pulled over for a traffic issue it has never come up. There is no requirement to inform in WA.
CCW does NOT authorize AZ residents to enter school grounds armed, continued, same section as above,13-3102. Misconduct involving weapons; defenses; classification; definitions
A. A person commits misconduct involving weapons by knowingly:...(b) When contacted by a law enforcement officer and failing to accurately answer the officer if the officer asks whether the person is carrying a concealed deadly weapon;
12. Possessing a deadly weapon on school grounds; or
I haven't heard of this one winning in court, but CCW people tend to be pretty law abiding anyway. BTW, for those wondering what lawful contact is,C. Subsection A, paragraphs 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of this section shall not apply to:...4. A person specifically licensed, authorized or permitted pursuant to a statute of this state or of the United States.
And school grounds,1. "Contacted by a law enforcement officer" means a lawful traffic or criminal investigation, arrest or detention or an investigatory stop by a law enforcement officer that is based on reasonable suspicion that an offense has been or is about to be committed
4. "School" means a public or nonpublic kindergarten program, common school or high school.
5. "School grounds" means in, or on the grounds of, a school.
In WA the information comes up when they run your drivers license, that is why they do not care. Like another person pointed out, criminals don't bother to get their CPL, only law abiding citizens bother. I have had the same experience as you...40 years never have been asked, even the couple times when they went to the passenger window and were looking right at it on my right hip.I've always been surprised that in Washington state the LEO's don't seem to know (or care?) that you have a CPL.

Arizona is a "Constitutional Carry" state.....no permit required for CCW.
Absolutely incorrect, you may carry in Frys or Safeway or any other business that sells package liquor that is not posted in Arizona. Who told you that? You may carry with permit in a resteraunt that serves open alcohol if the business is not specifically posted per law, and the CCW permitholder may not consume alcohol. Safeway HAD a no guns sign back in the 80s, and when our CCW law went into effect in '94 they came down.Too Pure said:You can't have a gun in any business that sells alcohol. Like a convenience store, a supermarket, a restaurant.
