Don't forget the gun law advantage, open carry legal, CCW shall issue permit, good for 5 years, no renewal class or fingerprints, $65 permit fee, (legislation pending to make it a lifetime permit, with a cap at $99 forever), NFA friendly, (permit is non specific, carry whatever you wish, including your legal NFA stuff, long or short), and no waiting period. Also, no magazine restriction, no "assault weapon" ban, no "one-gun-a-month" garbage, Castle Doctrine in place, NO CIVIL LIABILITY FOR JUSTIFIED SHOOTS, (can't stress that one enough), many ranges all overthe state, some free, state pre-emption law, so no changing laws from one town to another, firearms education optional for public schools, (waiting to make that mandatory, like Driver's Ed), no CCW permit needed in your home or business, (working to make it in your car as well), trying right now to get CCW authorized on college and university campuses, *BREATHE*, hang on... Hmm, I know I missed a few somewhere.
One downside, and that's the stupid SmokeFree AZ act, which prohibits smoking in bars and resteraunts, but if you don't go out to get plowed, no problem.
Oh, yeah, no licensing, no registration, no FOID, (for those in Illinois), no ammo restrictions, (for those in New Joisey), and face to face private sales are completely legal, providing both parties are lawful posessors, for those living in Cali.
Whew! Long list of goods...heat ain't bad, if you learn to do what we do - stay inside in the summer! God made AC for a reason! All the tourists have goreous tans, we don't. Because AC works INSIDE. So does the refrigerator. And the swamp cooler, (get both, one for most of the summer, AC for thewet part, saves money.), works indoors. 4-5 months of the year is great, the rest is bearable with experiance and thought. Carry water with you everywhere in the trunk, and don't go off in the desert and get stupid. Great state, lots of room, c'mon down!
