[Proman]

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get a training class to get certified for AZ or UT, here in PA?

AZ does not require a special class like UT. AZ will accept a PA hunter safety course, an NRA live fire course, proof of current military service or a military discharge.

And AZ can all be done thru the mail.

I just went through the Utah course in April and it was well worth it. It took about 10 hours on a Saturday and the 6 of us had an enjoyable time. I did the Utah specifically to get Ohio as I live on the PA/Ohio border. I don't know if Arizona will get you Ohio but that may not be a problem if you live in the eastern part of the state.

AZ will get you OH, which is the main reason I got AZ

For those on the eastern part of the state...like myself...AZ will give DE...

AZ reciprocity

Utah gets you Washington state.

Airzona gets you Kansass and New Mexico.

Arizona gets you a permit in 1 to 2 weeks.

Those are the differences I see. Arizona is better IMO.
