(59 posts)Thanks to the fine group Arizona citizens defence league. We no longer are at the mercy of the local authority as to who gets CCW permits. If you own it legally you can carry it openly or concealed.
It's nice to live in a state that understands self defence is a right set forth in the constitution that applies to all it's citizens, be they black brown white or light green with red highlights.
The local businesses are almost all on board with it, and I have seen very few "no firearms permitted" signs.
As you stated in your post, the heat here makes it almost impossible for concealed carry during the summer, and it is not at all unusual to see people safely carrying firearms in in everyday situations.
The anti-gun types just seem to never understand that the problem is not the law abiding citizen, it is the criminal element that they need to concern themselves with. I believe their mindset comes from a lack of understanding of firearms in general, and a seemingly deep seated fear of their fellow citizens.
