word of advise... watch your speed around the valley (photo radar mecca) and whatever you do, do not even think about driving even after 3 drinks... You will get a dui, and az just became the most stringent state in terms of dui punishment...

Another bit of AZ culture shock may be seeing people carrying guns on their hips while you're in line at the grocery store, etc. Any non felon over 18 may carry a firearm as long as it's visible. In IL I didn't know anyone that owned a handgun. In AZ I don't know anyone that doesn't own one. It's really not a big deal. It's kinda nice cuz it makes the bad guys think twice before they rob someone. lol

The two main spots in AZ notorious for speed traps(aside from photo radar everywhere) are Scottsdale Rd in Scottsdale and Gilbert Road in Downtown Gilbert. Be careful!

Also AZ's weed/roid laws are crazy compared to IL(where AAS are still a misdemeanor for possession). Posession of a pipe w/ THC residue is a felony charge that may land you a $1000 fine and 1 year of piss tests. Don't get me started on what happened to a few of my bros busted in ORD or any of the other multitude of AAS busts here over the past 18 years. The gyms are full of cops trying to make controlled buys and sales(no entrapment laws here), so keep your biz to yourself.
