Question for Imperial Valley/Yuma Az CG'ers

[Ruger Rick]

I am headed down to AZ with the wife in December, so we can visit her family who comes down from Washington State to winter in their Yuma home.

Anyway. My question is if anyone on here is familiar with the areas around Yuma, and if so, do you know any public lands in which shooting is allowed? I pretty much wanna stay close to the Yuma area, and Im not really willing to drive any farther than 30-45 minutes out.

Also, are out of state residents allowed to purchase Hi Cap magazines? I was planning on buying a couple of Ruger and Butler Creek 25 rd mags to keep out there at the family's home.

Thanks for your help!!!

buying hi-caps in az and leaving them behind in az is fine,just never bring them in to california

My question was, though, will any dealer sell them to me, seeing as Im not an Arizona resident?

PM calgunner JDAllen for info on shooting areas, he lives in Yuma and I'm sure he could help you out.

Yes, you can purchase any size magazines in AZ. It is perfectly legal and not a big deal. However, you might run into problems if you go into a gun store wearing a rainbow "I love California" shirt and flip flops and call everyone Duuuuude. Just pay cash and no one has to know where you're from. I should add that it is perfectly fine to pay with a cc, but you might run into some anti-California dealers that will give you a hard time.

Cool! I hope I can find a good gun store in Yuma, then. Being Arizona, Im sure I wont have trouble.

And thanks on the tip about what NOT to wear! Ill keep the hippie apparel in the trunk.

I dont get the first part...

And in my original post, I never really asked about any gun stores, nor private ranges. I asked about shooting areas on public land.

Thanks for the info, though.
