An Arizona resident can carry legally in their state without a license, but if they come to any other state that requires a license, then they must have an Arizona concealed carry license that has reciprocity with that state.paxton25 wrote:Creighton, made an incredibly ignorant statement on constitutional carry.
"Not every conservative lawmaker supports the idea of open carry without a permit, however. Newly elected Sen. Brandon Creighton, long a legislative leader on pro-gun bills, said some worry that permitless open carry would conflict with reciprocity agreements Texas has penned with other states to recognize each other’s gun laws.
“If we pass constitutional carry and in some way, in doing so, invalidated all the licensure we already have for CHLs (concealed handgun licenses), I think some Texans would be disappointed in that because so many other states honor our licensure,” said the outgoing member from Conroe. “But I’m a definite on open carry.”

It seems to me that Arizona has very good reciprocity with other states even after passing constitutional carry. Creighton is my state senator and I will be having a word with him for sure.
I think he may be stating that we need to be cautious about how the law on constitutional carry would be worded, and we do not want it to cause Texas to no have a concealed carry license so you have the capability of carrying in other states we currently have reciprocity with.
I would suggest if you do have a conversation with him you need to get clarification on his statement so you know where he really stands on open carry.
