AZ - Senate Votes To Allow CCW with NO LICENSE

[Kevlar]

State senators voted Tuesday to let anyone who can legally have a weapon carry it beneath a jacket, in a purse or otherwise hidden.

SB 1108 would eliminate all the penalties that now exist when someone has a concealed weapon without first getting a state permit. That permit requires the holder to attend a training class which covers everything from the laws on when people can use deadly physical force to proving the person actually can handle the weapon.

It also requires a background check.

AZ is one of the states I consider to move to in the near future.

I can't wait. No place is perfect and the border is going to be a problem for many years to come or forever. But I'm moving there asap to a little piece of land northeast of Tucson. This story just reinforces my decision.

Just remember, as soon as you move there, restaurants that serve alcohol are off limits. As long as you're a non-resident, they aren't. (really).

Yup, I`d consider retiring there. I`ll have to check out the tax situation there.

You also have to watch out for Indian reservations, which are all over the place in AZ.

And you can't carry into shopping malls (I have a friend who's had a couple of guns stolen from the glove box in shopping mall pkg lots), or public buildings (must "check your gun" at the door to the public library), etc.

AZ is a LOT more restrictive than MA, NH, ME or VT! I have some friends who retired to AZ and get reports all the time from them.

yeah, I ahve two friends who live there, and when it comes to where they can cary versus where I can carry, I definitely win. (The rest of the BS gun climate in MA of course is a separate discussion)
