Yes some people strip wire but you will find the stranded type difficult to strip by hand. Lots has been written on this subject on this forum.
I am surprised to find out Az has outlawed striped wire. Just another attempt to control free commerce.
If you do strip then put it in the #2 copper and stranded will be #2 unless the individual strands are the same diameter as a #2 pencil lead or larger.
All Bare Bright has to be #1 copper first and many yards don't have that classification only #1 and #2 copper. Mike.
