A new Arizona law allows any U.S. citizen 21 or older to carry concealed weapons without needing a permit from the state first. New Mexico is expected to follow Arizona´s lead.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the law with the no-permit requirement into law recently, The new law will go into effect 91 days after the State Legislature adjourns so it will be early summer of 2010 meaning the law would take effect sometime in the summer, according to reports.
"I believe this legislation not only protects the Second Amendment rights of Arizona citizens, but restores those rights as well," Brewer, a Republican, said in a statement.
Arizona gun owners can still get concealed-weapon permits under the new law, if they want to, but would not be required. Many Arizonan's are expected to keep their CCW permit so that when they travel they will be legal in the states that have reciprocating agreement. Also, Arizonan's wanting permits will see the education requirements change under the new law: classes no longer will have to be set number of hours or include any hands-on use of the weapon.
This new Arizona law is one of several that have passed over the past year expanding gun owners´ rights in the state of Arizona.

I was thinking the same thing.

Whoever tortures the language like that should be shot.
:^)
See, see, more RACISM!!!
and yet JD Hayworth still gets not enough traction to unseat mccain
To be fair, liberal Vermont has been allowing this for years. Go figure...
Yes, all that gobble-de-goop, then this..., “According to reports.” Why didn’t the writer just come out and say, “At least I think this is right.” LOL
God Bless you all in AZ except McCain.
We will have to trickle out the demo-rats first.
Nice. And if the wrong person has a concealed weapon on them, there’s a reasonable expectation that five others will be able to put them out of everyone’s misery. Love it.
Hey evil doers, it sucks to be you in Arizona after early this summer.
I love my beautiful green countryside, but there are a lot of things about Arizona that make it appealing.
LIBERTARIAN Vermont.

New Mexico's gonna follow AZ's lead and allow concealed carry without a permit? First I've heard of it. Any NM Freepers out there hear about this?
Indeed. I stand corrected.
The same "libertarian" Vermont that prohibits personal ownership of NFA weapons.
Taken from:
N.H. Receives Lowest Crime Ranking; Nevada Ranks as Worst State
New Hampshire (1) received the lowest crime rate ranking again this year, followed by Vermont (2) and Maine (3).
Why is it that Liberal Northeastern states have low crime rates?
Check their racial makeup.
