It's been a real blood bath in AZ

Just wait until the mexican president has his say. After all, all those guns in AZ are making it to Mexico! Where the bad-bad-cartels are using them! Shame on you! You're the cause of their problem!

In all seriousness, glad to hear that it's working out well for you guys. I live in the People's Republic of Maryland where there is no chance of carrying. I love Arizona and wish that lived there. For now, I have to settle for visiting.

Get on your (quasi-) elected representatives. Get them to repeal and change the laws so that Arizona-style carry (MAN, I love saying that!) becomes the norm once again.

To borrow from Mr. Frank Sinatra, if we can make it here, we can make it anywhere.

You are letting logic interfere with a politician's agenda. Gun control has ZERO to do with public safety and 100% to do with public control. In countries that have a gun ban there are still violent crimes committed. Japan is pretty much the exception to the rul.

After reading about Japanese gun laws it looks like Japanese police are pretty much like Nazis. They can search you whenever you want, confiscate whatever they want to, arrest you and detain you for up to 28 days. The Japanese police are routinely accused to torture as well. Sounds like the Gestapo to me. The Japanese model is not to be followed as it closely emulates Nazi Germany and Communist Russia.

Oh the horror!!!! Think of the childens!!!! All those evil guns on the streets just waiting to bust a cap and end some poor childens life!!!!


Think of the 5-o!!!!!! Now they is gettin shot from alls over!!!!!!


Oh the humanity!!!!!!!

They said the same thing when Fla got CCW " It will be like the Old West." From what I see AZ citizens need to be armed to the teeth.

Yep, the poor kids...

My son is now in the habit of giving me a verbal checklist for my CCW and accessories - because he says he feels much safer knowing that his father is prepared to protect him, his sister and his mother.

I'm so proud! He is taking instruction from a local teacher and is turning into quite the pistol shot himself. He is focused on safe handling procedures and has told me that he will protect his family too in the future.

To Hawthorne2k and Yo Mama, You're way more optimistic than I am. Maryland is a democratic controlled state and they tend to feel like the more helpless you are, the safer you are. I don't expect much to change. Hoping to move to Pa in a few years.

There are people on both sides that are with us. Don't think just because they have a D or R next to their names that they are gun friendly.

Amen Yo!

The irony is that we fought a war with Mexico to gain the territories we won. Now they are taking them back and than some without firing a shot. Down here in FL when they enabled honest people to get ccw they did make all of those dire predictions but as it worked out things have only improved since the bad guys know that anyone might be armed and ready to defend themselves.

Flirting the edge of politics here, a couple of posts are missing. Please keep to the topic of how fearmongering over gun law changes is silly. That's plenty funny all by itself

Taking advantage of our new laws I strapped F.R.E.D. (Felon Repellent and Elimination Device) on and threw a t-shirt over him to take the kids fishing at a remote lake (it's AZ, every lake is a remote lake). When we got there, there were more kids fishing already. My kids and those kids had a grand time yelling across the lake about where the fish were.

Long story short, F.R.E.D. did not jump out of his holster. He did not take the initiative and drop anyone. Not one kid. Hell, not even one adult. Maybe I'm strong of will, but I never even felt a twinge of possession as F.R.E.D. tried to force his way into my hand and take over my mind. Amazing!

I was heartened to see a brother gunny OCing as his brood made their way past us.

Yo Mama!

Our politicians here are very disappointed with you people in AZ. They are desperately looking for empirical support to eliminate the remaining private ownership and carry privileges we do have, and you guys are just not helping one bit. Costa Rica always keys off the US, and so far its only places like Chicago supplying the mass shooting data.

The diputados at least expected some of your millions of gunmen to jump the tourist ropes and re-enact OK Corral wild west style in Tombstone with live ammo. Just because y'all are, you know, so unstable.

Louisiana's carjacking stats crashed almost immediately after they passed the "make my day" law.

I think this new law is just awful... !

I mean now that just about anybody can carry a concealed weapon (which most everybody was doing anyway), Those few that didn't have one are out buying them, and I can't steal... ah... I mean purchase, the older models that I like so well without having to pay a fair price.

I should move to Chicago, where I wouldn't have to worry about buying anything.

Vermont has been this way for 235 years. We've only got 621,270 citizens left!!!

Oh, wait… that's 21,000 more than the last census.

Something's wrong here.

Seems we hear very little from the news media about how states with CCW laws (Kentucky, Texas, Tenessee, Georgia) have lower violent crime rates than states with srtict gun control laws (California, New York, Illinois). I know there is not a liberal, left wing bias in the news media.
Seriously, I'm glad my fellow Americans in the beautiful state of Arizona can now better defend themselves and their families.

Too bad the winters are ten months long.

I completely agree and that is the main issue for me in Ohio. Our current gov is a D, but has the NRA endorsement because he is a supporter of hunting/sporting issues. However, there are many more issues at hand than guns this November. I am having a hard time deciding if I could vote that way for just one (although important) issue.

I certainly can't vote for any politician who's in favor of gun control, regardless of his other views. Just ask yourself [or anyone who would criticize you as a single issue voter], "would you vote for a candidate who supported common sense restrictions on the 4th Amendment?".

Same Same here in VA after 1 July restaurant ban repealed

Howdy from Virginia...we had the same whining from the Brady's and all the VT crowd and especially from my local state Senator, a Pubbie who was all concerned about violence in the restaurants running the tourists away from Williamsburg. Guess what, since 1 July restaurant repeal....snooze......all quiet....crickets chirping...
