There are many ways to begin the process of selecting a firearm, but there is no better way than to visit a professional. Our team is knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. We'll ask you the right questions and take the time to listen because we understand your goals and expectations all lead to fitting you with the most appropriate firearm. Additionally, many of the guns we recommend are available for rent on our range, therefore allowing you to try before you buy. It's the only way to start your journey.
Starting this process requires you visit us in-person. You'll need to bring your valid Arizona Driver's License with you, which must have your current residentail address. If it doesn't have your current address or you do not have a valid AZ Driver's License, please call us for guidance.
A background check is submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigations through its National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Upon successful completion of the background check, which we call a "Proceed", you are ready to take posession of your first firearm.
Upon successfully passing your background check, you are authorized in the state of Arizona to purchase your first firearm. But, this is just the very start of your journey! Read about our recommendtions on Education & Training below.
Education and training go hand-in-hand. We recommend you enroll in a series of fundamentals based training classes and learn the basics of firearm handling and manipulation. We recommend interested students purchase our highly discounted "Armed with Education" training card. Learn more here.
Becoming familiar with your firearm requires practice too. Visit our climate-controlled indoor range. Our Range Safety Team is available to assist and answer your questions during your visit. Additionally, we've taken extra measures for your health & safety, ensuring our range (and retail) space is sanitized multiple times daily.
Our team loves what they do and they do it well. You'll never be mistreated or made to feel uncomfortable. We promise.
We have a wide selection of firearms that fit your exact needs. In fact, we even have over 100 firearms available for rent so you can try before you buy.
When you purchase a firearm with us you receive 2 free range passes, a 10% off discount on your first selection of accessories, a $30 education certificate, and a free T-Shirt.
