As reported in this story, and by Of Arms and the Law, the Arizona legislature has approved a law allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons without a permit. The bill no goes to the Governor for signature or veto. The Governor is expected to sign the bill.
I find this to be especially ironic because it is happening as the California legislature begins consideration of AB 1934, a bill that would effectively eliminate the open carry of any handgun in public places in the state. Open carry of loaded handguns has been illegal for many years in California, while open carry of loaded handguns has been legal for many years.
Can two states that share border be further apart on an issue? I can just imagine how California anti-gun residents would wail and quake with fear if the same legislation ever came before out Governor. Arnold would probably veto it.
