Boy! The State Legislature is really swinging for the gun owners this session! A solid Republican legislature and a female Republican governor (known to pack heat in her purse and an NRA member) are teaming up to pass some great new laws. Below listed are the current under consideration.
House Bill 2307; Senate Bill 1098
Exempts any firearm or ammunition manufactured and kept in Arizona from federal regulation, including registration. (Modeled after the Montana law).
House Bill 2347; Senate Bill 1102
Would no longer require people to get a concealed -weapon permit. Would make it legal to keep a loaded weapon in a locked vehicle on school grounds and prohibit anybody younger that 21 from carrying a concealed firearm.
House Bill 2543; Senate Bill 1168
Extends restrictions on local governments from regulating firearms and ammunition to include the purchase, acquisition, storage, licensing or registration of such items. The bill also would prohibit cities and counties from banning firearms in parks.
Senate Bill 1011
Would allow a faculty member of a state university or community college who has a valid concealed-carry permit to carry a deadly weapon onto school grounds.
Senate Bill 1021
Would expand instances when a person is justified in using deadly force. ( Presently, a prosecutor must prove the action wasn't justified, instead of the defendant having to prove it was.)
House Bill 2406
Would change the requirements for signs prohibiting the possession of weapons in restaurants and bars to within 20 feet of each register, at every entrance and behind the bar. Anybody who brings in a weapon would not violate the law if the signs weren't properly posted. The law currently requires a sign immediately adjacent to the liquor license.
Senate Bill 1015
Would also change the posting requirements for restaurants and bars, but does not require the signs at all three areas (near registers, at entrances and behind the bar) - only at one.
This will most definitely continue to qualify Arizona as F-- state with the Brady Bunch!!!
