AZ would not be nearly as "gun friendly" as it is without the intense activism of the local gun groups.

AZCDL is the best. I am a life member.

Meteor Crater is private property. The company is allowed to make its own rules regarding open carry.

Sounds like folks with the same mentality of some LEO departments in Mississippi after the open/concealed carry issue was rectified. They hand carried small “No Weapons” decals to many businesses and “requested” that they post them. Such signs are supposed to be readily discernible from at least 10 feet and the 4” x 4” stickers are often lost among other signs/advertisements on windows that might not be right adjacent to the entrance. Easy to claim you didn’t see it and leave if someone notices/mentions your weapon.

Does the state run Arizona stops? A lot of the Texas rest stops are operated by a contractor out of Tennessee.

I OC frequently when I’m visiting AZ, usually around Phoenix, Sedona or Prescott.

I make sure to dress nicely, fresh shave, haircut, etc. I also try to be judicious about where I OC. For example, I recently visited the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. I was pleased to not find any “No Guns” signs, but thought OC might make visitors on the group tour uncomfortable, so I flipped my shirt over the G19 I was carrying. Really enjoy having the choice to do either in AZ.

No real problems so far.

I’m also a member of AzCDL. They do great work.

I certainly hope that AZCDL does not “rest on its laurels’ but continues to brainstorm and advocate gun liberty issues.

Some of my personal favorites:

1) Intelligent zoning of gun ranges in city areas, as well as encouragement of juvenile gun training and practice for families with kids. That is, both “adult” and “family” gun ranges.

2) Encouragement of high school rifle clubs and intramural competitions, as well as state marksmanship trophies.

3) Streamlining regulation and reduced taxation for gun and ammunition manufacturers who produce “state made for in-state use only.”

4) Court provision of guns, ammunition, and self-protection counseling to “vulnerable persons” who have been given court orders of protection against others who are considered a threat to them. Plus some source of funding for the courts to do this. Likewise, a bench order requiring them to be armed when in public.

5) Public service recognition awards for citizens who thwart felony crimes.

6) Formalize the Common Law posse comitatus at state level, so that the county Sheriffs can ‘conscript’ (voluntarily only) “All adult persons of good character in the county in keeping the peace.” This is a crafty way of making county ‘Kennesaw’ laws, technically ‘conscripting’ all adults as lawmen, so that they are “required” (with no penalty for non-compliance) to keep guns and ammunition.

This goes against any federal efforts to confiscate guns and/or ammo, as to do this, the feds would have to confiscate it from all lawmen in the state, since every adult in the county would technically be a lawman.

It wouldn’t need to go into effect immediately, just when a Sheriff felt it necessary to protect the public from gun confiscation.
