I'm not talking about shipping it to them, I am talking about taking it with me on the next visit.
Only other way is for you to die and bequeath them the firearms as part of your estate.

I suspect you'd prefer to use an FFL ... :lol:

Re: Is a Texas ID card enough to buy a gun?

18 USC 922 makes it a felony to sell a gun if a person "knows or has reasonable cause to believe" that the other person is a resident of a different state.

If it was me, I'd say an AZ driver license is enough "reasonable cause to believe" that I would not risk a federal felony.
18 USC § 922(a) It shall be unlawful—
(5) for any person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector) to transfer, sell, trade, give, transport, or deliver any firearm to any person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector) who the transferor knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, does not maintain a place of business in) the State in which the transferor resides; . . .
