Rembrant Report post Posted April 13, 2010 Anybody notice that the AZ legeslature and the Govenor have passed a bill that will allow AZ residents to cary a concealed weapon without a permit? Also AZ residents will be able to purchase a weapon that is made in AZ, and that does not leave AZ, without having to register it. This includes protection for private reloaders. Who makes guns in AZ? Ruger. Think their sales will go up? Think any other gun manufacturers might want to come to AZ? Looks like an economic stimulous package that will work. Pretty cool also that the AZ constitution was amended to make hunting and fishin by legal means a RIGHT of AZ residents. Just when the whole country seems to be turning left AZ makes a hard right. I am so proud! Seems our conservative legislature recognizes that we have a communist president and is taking measures to ensure that the "Federalists" will not trod on our states rights.

KCA205 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 The right to hunt has to go to the ballot and be voted on by the residents of Arizona before they can change the state constitution. Looks like we will get to vote on it soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonecollector Report post Posted April 14, 2010 I knew it went to the Governor but didnt know she signed it already, that great news. So when does it go into effect or is it already? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rembrant Report post Posted April 14, 2010 You are correct, KCA205. I thought it was a done deal. Just looked it up - the state will vote on it in Nov. What are the odds it passes? Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KCA205 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Mike, I hope it passes when we get to vote. You never know how it will go. The good news is that the NRA is behind it and will most likely use their dollars on advertising and such so we will see. It also has the support of AZGFD and that should help too.

Coues&Bass Report post Posted April 14, 2010 The news said it would go into affect 90 days after Brewer signs, so some time in July is what the news was speculating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Speaking of encouraging legislation, check this out. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/04/14...nors-signature/ I like the legislation, however, I do wonder if our State agencies will agressively enforce these new laws! A paper tiger accomplishes nothing! Time will tell. Thanks for the info coach! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
