A licensee who wants to prohibit the possession of firearms on his/her licensed premises may
exercise that right by posting a sign which complies with standards provided in Title 4. Title 4
governs Arizona liquor law. A.R.S. §4-229(D)(1)) and A.R.S. §4-244(29) provide for concealed weapons on the licensed premises in emergency situations.

The Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC) will provide laminated signs for licensees to post at their liquor-licensed business which can be picked up. Signs distributed by DLLC will have the director’s signature and a DLLC watermark in the lower, right-hand corner. Printable version of the “NO FIREARMS ALLOWED” signs can be found on the DLLC website homepage at http://www.azliquor.gov/. To comply with A.R.S. §4-229(C), posted signs must be on white, laminated, 110 pound index paper.

Yes, however the sign must strictly comply with A.R.S. §4-229(C) or the validity of the sign may be challenged. See specifications below: The signs must meet the following standards to comply with A.R.S. §4-229 (A) and(C) (posting of notice):
