Going to Sedona, AZ, next week, couple of questions

[Koshinn]

hahahaha kina like going to a Hawaiian place and asking for shoyu and they look confused

That has happened to me

The skate park in Sedona is outstanding.

Transported my handgun (was an interesting experiment in itself) and CCW'd the entire time I was instate.

I have flown to and from Arizona multiple times with a pistol without much drama.
That said, the biggest drama I've had flying with a gun was in San Antonio, Texas. The Delta staff + TSA in SATX were all 8'up.

Like most things in life, be courteous, be patient and be a good witness. Whatever the airline staff behind the counter are getting paid, it isn't enough.

To the OP's comment, I've carried concealed in Arizona on my out of state permits, backed up with print outs from the Arizona state websites.

Like others have mentioned, Sedona is "New Age", as in get your crystals and tie dye. I've never seen a gun range or even a gun store in Sedona, but I'm sure somebody is shooting out in the wilderness. The story goes there are "vortex" areas which supposedly have energy and whatnot that make the trees grow in spirals in these areas. This attracted all of the hippies and artists years ago and the town kept it going with tourists ever since. It is still a neat place. The landscape there is very unique and beautiful.
Pink Jeep tours are a nice way to see this unique landscape. Tlaqupaque is a beautiful outdoor mall in Sedona which also has Oak Creek Brewing company, which has great food and beer. There are mexican places in there as well which looked good.

S/W of Sedona is a place called Cornville / Page Springs. There is a restaurant called Up the Creek Grill and Bar. It looks like nothing special on the outside. Inside it is classy/upscale, excellent food and a killer view of the creek. Wife and I had dinner there and were blown away. There are also some local wineries and I think I saw a goat farm in the area as well if that is your thing.

J&G Sales is in Prescott, which is where I get my AK ammo cheap. Not sure if this fits your route or not. They sell all sorts of C&R stuff, check out their website. Prescott is a neat town, it used to be the capitol of AZ back when AZ was a territory. There is Wild west stuff going on there such as old west "shootouts" in the streets, and you can have a whiskey where Doc Holliday and others used to frequent. There is a meadery in the Prescott town square that is very nice too.

Sounds great, thanks for the advice!

You can non-resident carry without a CCW in Arizona without a permit if you are not prohibited (felon) and over 21. There are a couple limitations as to where you can carry and some other research you should do. I enjoyed my visit to Arizona last year, particularly because I could be armed just like at home without a permit.

If you read the ARS carrying concealed is valid for any U.S. citizen in the state. As mentioed with no permit there are some restrictions. Its already getting warm so dress appropriately. If you are going to Sedona you need to drive to Jerome.

Good point about Prescott. J&G Sales is one of my stops as well. If you're a student of Old West History, John Henry "Doc" Holliday did live in Prescott in 1879-1880. He actually roomed with John J. Gosper, acting Territorial Governor of Arizona. Doc Holliday's whore, Big Nose Kate (Mary Katherine Haroney Cummings), died in the Arizona Pioneer's Home in Prescott in 1940 and is buried in the Pioneer Cemetery there. You can actually see her grave.
