Here is the bill...
AZ SB 1108
I'm not sure I really understand it myself...seems they will still issue permits...and still have reciprocity....where does it say no permit is required?
I'm a frequent visitor to AZ ~ may I carry there? (I do have a Maine permit, which is recognized by AZ, but just wanted to clarify...)

The operative provisions of SB 1108 removing the permit requirement are close to the beginning, in section 13-3102(A)(1)-(2). The bill eliminates the permit requirement and replaces it with 3 new requirements: a prohibition on concealed carry by individuals under 21 (not new law since the permitting law had the same minimum age), a duty to truthfully respond to a law-enforcement officer's question about whether a person is legally carrying a weapon, and (3) a new offense for carrying a concealed weapon in the commission of a felony.
FYI, yes, the right to carry without a permit does not discriminate upon the basis of state of residence.
