If a gun was purchased in my wife's name...
Arizona resident here and was just wondering if a gun my wife and I purchased in her name can be legally used as an EDC (concealed carry) by me without running into any kind of legal trouble down the road should the need arise to use the firearm.

Nope. Arizona doesn't register guns.
Some states tie carry permits to specific guns, but Arizona doesn't do that, either. In fact, they don't even require a permit.

But you can still use your wife's gun, unless she objects, of course.

Thanks for the reply Frank. I don't really go out to bars, but if I did I would just leave the gun at home.

You're right, my mistake. I misinterpreted what he said. To be honest the extent of my concealed carry is for walks with the dog around the neighborhood and such. I happen to live in an area of town that is not very friendly. Just last week while on a walk past some high school/college aged guys I distinctly heard the sound of one of them racking the slide on his gun...just as I pass the group of them. I was disturbed to say the least. I felt a bit threatened by it.

As long as it's not pink or a "Ladysmith".

Every now and then (when its freaking hot outside and I'm wearing just a pair of shorts and t-shirt) I would stick my wife's LCP in my pocket rather than put on my 1911. I do miss that little gun for its concealability.
On the converse my wife now has decided she doesn't want to EDC a small gun so she usually ends up sticking one of my 1911s in her purse or IWB depending on what she's wearing and where she's going. In WI the way I was told by our county DA so long as the other spouse doesn't object to the use its legal since we're married/living in the same household etc. Its akin to a parent letting their child use a firearm for hunting/range use.

Hey, I can actually see an advantage to a man using a pink gun. Heck you wouldn't even need to fire the thing because the bad guy would become so distracted from his laughing at the sight of it that you could just run up and drop kick him.

And I think that brings us to the end.
