Arizona is a weird state.

I live in the cold, rural, forested northern part of Arizona that resembles the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. It hardly ever gets over 85 degrees here in the summer. I've personally never seen it over 95. My county is the size of Pennsylvania but has a population of 75,000 people. An hour north of me is the largest reservation of Native Americans there is (Navajo) with a mostly intact culture. The reservation is located in four states, so they have their own time zone, police, schools, and government. They are practically their own state.

We northern Arizonans don't speak of the southern half of the state. Never go there. It represents everything we hate and we avoid it like the plague.

I lived in Phoenix through summer and fall to work a shitty job. I carried my TT-C almost everywhere. You don't need a permit to concealed carry in Arizona, so I just crammed it into a pocket or hidden waistband holster and called it good. The TT was thin and made a good CCW. It as also the only handgun I had. I don't think I was more than 2 feet from a gun the whole time I lived there.

I don't cling to my guns as much now that I no longer live in that literal definition of hell on Earth. Guns are mainly for deer and elk hunting season here in Northern Arizona and for protecting livestock against coyotes, wolves, and mountain lions. Crime isn't really a problem.

I read about that rez in a series of murder mystery books by Tony Hillerman back in the 80's or maybe it was the early 90's. I stood on the four corners when I was out that way back when dinosaur's still walked the earth.

Yeah, that’s Coconino County. Southern Arizona tends to be the last stronghold of the liberals. We have a couple of reservations south and west of Tucson-Tohono O’Odham and Pascua Yaqui tribes. TO Nation has the larger reservation.

Now, here’s something to wrap your mind around-Arizona requires all private process servers to be licensed. The Clerk of the Superior Court in each county is responsible for administering the licensing program in their county. Each county issues each process server an official photo identification card which the server must have on them whenever they serve legal process. The identification cards are standardized-each county uses the standard template approved by the Arizona Supreme Court. HOWEVER, not every county prints their own identification cards. Pima County prints the identification cards for Apache, Cochise, Coconino, Gila, Graham and Santa Cruz Counties. If one of those counties needs an identification card issued, they send the photos, signatures and data to me electronically and I have my IT Department print the cards. I then mail them to the requesting office.
