GOOD NEWS! AZ SB1270

[Irish]

I have not read this in it's entirety but so far it looks very good for Arizona residents. http://www.azleg.gov/DocumentsForBill.asp?Bill_Number=SB1270 It looks very similar to a Vermont or Alaska style concealed carry which I think is a big step in the right direction. What are your thoughts?

Since I posted this late west coast time thought I'd bump it for the east coasters for them to check out. Have a good one.

it's a good law but meaningless to me as i am not a bar hopper, sporting events attendee etc., i go to our local shooting range once a week and carry at all times, if i have to stop at a store for something, i carry, sometimes openly other times concealed, why ? because i can :D

irish,

Thanks for the word. Right now I'd be happy if they would just finish up with the restaurant/ bar bill that has been bouncing around. The way I understand it the current legislative session is getting ready for summer break and won't be back in session until September.

Glad to see they are moving in the right dirrection on that in any case.

Recently flew out to AZ for a week, have reciprocity and so I carried. Needing to disarm to go to a noodle joint just because they sell beer seemed beyond silly. My state doesn't have that silliness and even allows carry with up to a .04 BAC . . . which means of course that the average adult can enjoy one beer or glass of wine with a meal. 1/2 the legal limit for driving seems quite reasonable.

Apart from while slurping down a bowl of noodles, I didn't find myself impaired by AZ law in any way. Very thankful for reciprocity, my visit to IL a week later was much more nervous.
