Start with this thread, and then wait and see if any Humboldt County residents chime in here.

Also, here's a link to a Humboldt discussion on another forum. Take much of what you read over there with a grain of salt; although I'm sure there must still be a few knowledgeable members over there, the FUD factor gets kind of high at times.

Just renewed mine today. Renew in your county, AZ reciprocates with 31 states. You can do it on line.

I'm also in Humboldt, and travel a lot on business.

When I first moved here from the city I thought it was a remarkably safe place. I didn't bother to carry in town at first, only when I went out of area.

That's changed, even though I'm able bodied, in excellent condition, and have a fair amount of self-defense training. While violent crime rates are still relatively low here, there's been a big recent increase in "lesser" crimes. Last week there was a burglary two blocks from my house (perp caught by local LEO within an hour). The week before that there was a major meth bust a few miles away and a guy was busted two blocks from my office with a sawed-off shotgun in his backpack.

Now I carry even when I'm working in my own yard.

So yes, I think it's wise to renew.

Much cheaper to renew than to do over again. Original reason does not matter.
