Saying signs don't protect people from "homicidal maniacs,"

Cannot be stressed enough, and something that the nanny-state gun grabbers just cannot comprehend.

What good is having the permit inside the building going to do you? It is made of Kevlar?

Kansas did this. Drove the libs nuts but somehow, the CCW holders managed not to shoot up public buildings.

We don’t need a state issued permit to open carry in Az.

And finally some lawmakers with an actual blood flow to their cerebrum.

Hooray AZ!! Especially as a border state; frontlines of essential defense of the CITIZENry and 2nd Amendment rights!! Hope this spreads more (all) all states.

Of course there are 12 who still want to give the " homicidal maniacs, robbers, rapists, killers and assaulters " free reign to carry out their crimes without fear.

Kinda "Harry" to "Ried" into those numbers a still substantial number of liberal opposers of expanding carry rights. OUST your liberals AZ!! (i.e., your senators)

"This isn't at a gun range where you're pointing at a still target,'' Quezada said.

I don't know what kind of training they provide there, but the school I went through involved "shoot house" scenarios in which I had to make decisions about whether the "target" I encountered was a threat or not. In some of the scenarios, it was real "force on force," with both the student and the potential "bad guy" armed with revolvers shooting wax bullets. We had to wear face masks and fireman's coats, and the bullets would still sting.
