Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Mohave County. Lake Havasu City sits on the Arizona shore of Lake Havasu, a Colorado River reservoir, and is best known for the London Bridge that was rebuilt here in 1971. Boating, tourism and retirees drive the local economy.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Arizona law allows.
Arizona has no permit to purchase, no gun registration and no state waiting period. At the dealer you show photo ID, complete ATF Form 4473 and the dealer runs the federal NICS check. A valid Arizona concealed weapons permit can stand in for that check at many dealers. Federal law sets 21 as the minimum age for a handgun from a dealer, and that applies to a used trade-in the same as a new pistol. State preemption keeps cities and counties from adding their own purchase rules.
Dealers in these communities all work for Lake Havasu City-area buyers:
Since 2010 Arizona has let adults 21 and older who may legally possess a firearm carry concealed without a permit. Open carry is also legal. The Arizona Department of Public Safety issues the optional concealed weapons permit, which is recognized in many other states and lets you carry in some places that are closed to permitless carriers. Schools, polling places, secured public buildings and businesses posted under state law still bar weapons. If an officer asks whether you are armed, you must answer.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department sets seasons by game management unit in the 2026-27 Arizona Hunting Regulations. Most rifle deer, elk and javelina tags come through the draw, while some archery deer tags are sold over the counter. Hunt dates spread from late summer into January depending on unit and species. Legal methods differ by hunt type, and some hunts allow handguns. Check the regulations for your unit and hunt number before you go, especially around Mohave County, where desert units are large and water is scarce.
Desert mule deer, bighorn sheep and javelina in the surrounding game management units are hunted mainly by draw. Waterfowl hunting is allowed on parts of Havasu National Wildlife Refuge under refuge rules.
Havasu National Wildlife Refuge lies upriver to the north and Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge to the south. BLM desert and the Mohave Mountains rise east of town.
These public ranges are run or listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Some need a hunting license, a range permit or a day-use fee, and hours change with the season, so check with the managing agency before you drive out.

Yes. Order here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Parker, Kingman, Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City or anywhere in Mohave County, and we ship the firearm to them. You fill out ATF Form 4473 at their counter and they run the background check.
No. You need to be 21, show ID, complete Form 4473 and pass the NICS check at the dealer. An Arizona concealed weapons permit can replace the check.
Yes, if you are 21 or older and may legally possess a firearm. The DPS permit is optional and helps when you travel.
No. Once the background check clears, your dealer can hand over the pistol the same day.
A stainless S&W third-generation pistol or a polymer Glock handles damp air well if you clean and oil it after trips. Check the state's rules for carrying on boats and at public ramps.
Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
