Arizona closer to Constitutional carry

​

By a 20-10 margin, the Senate voted Monday to remove the permit requirement for those who want to carry a concealed weapon. The House already has given preliminary approval to an identical measure and should have a final vote later this week, sending the measure to Gov. Jan Brewer.

 

AWESOME!!!!!


even though I already have my permit.

You have a linky?


I also saw this one:

" House Bill 2307, sponsored by Rep. Nancy McLain, R-Bullhead City, would exempt any personal firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition made in Arizona and kept in Arizona from federal regulation as of Oct. 1. Firearms made and sold in Arizona would be stamped with "made in Arizona.""

 

Glad to hear it.

 

still waiting for this in Illinois...

I have my permit too and so does my wife. But this is better.

 

As a former Illinois resident I am sorry to inform you that:
YOU NEVER WILL!

 

No kidding. My wife's family move to AZ years ago to escape the gun laws there.

 

Arizona: Governor nears deadline to act on Constitutional carry bill​

Gov. Jan Brewer is nearing the deadline to act on a bill that would make Arizona the third state to not require a permit to carry a concealed weapon. The Legislature sent the bill to Brewer on Monday, setting a Saturday deadline for her to sign the bill, veto the legislation or allow it to become law without her signature.

Governor Brewer Signs Arizona Constitutional Carry into Law​

Friday, April 16, 2010


Today, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (R) signed an important NRA-backed bill into law, which removes the licensure requirement for law-abiding citizens who choose to carry a concealed firearm in the state of Arizona. Senate Bill 1108 passed the state House on April 8, by a vote of 36-19 with five absent votes and the state Senate by a vote of 20-10 in late March.
“This is a major victory for gun owners in Arizona, and I would like to thank Governor Jan Brewer, as well as the primary bill sponsor, Senator Russell Pearce (R-Mesa), for their leadership in working to improve the self-defense rights of law-abiding citizens in Arizona," said Chris W. Cox, executive director of NRA-ILA. “Both Governor Brewer and state Senator Pearce have been strong supporters of the NRA. The NRA is also grateful to the legislators who voted for this measure making Arizona the third state in the nation behind Vermont and Alaska to offer its residents a constitutional carry option."
SB 1108 replaces Arizona’s former law, which required anyone who wished to defend themselves outside their home to possess a state-issued concealed carry permit. In Arizona’s constitution, Article 2, Section 26 states "the right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself or the state shall not be impaired…" The intention of this language could not be clearer.
Arizona residents will still be required to obtain a permit to carry concealed firearms across state lines in those states that have reciprocity agreements with Arizona.
"SB 1108 will enhance the rights of law-abiding Arizonans," concluded Cox.
The effective date for this bill has yet to be determined.

 

still waiting here.....
