second amendment
Arizona lawmakers just gave approval for four “major” pro-guns laws in the
state senate. The state house of representatives approved Second Amendment
related bills which allow concealed carry permit holders to take their
firearms into government buildings which do not have security measures.
HB 22339, the gun bill which would allow concealed carry permit holders to
ignore the “no weapons” signs posted on public buildings, was reportedly
premised on the fact that permit holders are law-abiding citizens which have
undergone state training.
Steve Gallardo, a Democratic Arizona State Senator from Phoenix, opposed the
concealed carry permit exception for public buildings. Gallardo feels that
the bill is “based on a faulty premise.” According to the Yuma Sun, the
state lawmaker does not necessarily feel that permit holders have gone
through “extensive training” on either weapons handling or how to
determine when it is appropriate to use deadly force.
State Senator Gallardo had this to say about his opposition to the proposed
concealed carry provisions:
“I would not have such a big argument on this bill if we had a strict [
concealed carry permit] requirement where folks are required to have proper
training. Not only do we have a bill that allows pretty much anyone to
obtain a CCW permit, we now have a bill that’s really costly to government.”
Arizona’s concealed carry permit process appears to be at least as
comprehensive as similar programs in a host of other states. Gun rights
supporters feel that if trained law-abiding citizens are armed in public
buildings, they are better able to protect themselves and others should
another mass shooting tragedy or other criminal incident occur.
One of the Arizona pro-gun bills mandates fines on both municipalities and
officials who enforce gun laws which are stricter than those passed by the
state. HB 2517 would allow a court to administer a fine of up to $5,000
against elected and appointed officials, as well as the heads of
administrative agencies, if a gun control law is knowingly and willfully
enacted that exceeds weapons restrictions permitted under state law. The pro
-Second Amendment legislation also makes it illegal to use taxpayer funds to
defend or reimburse any government official found guilty of violating the
statute.
Arizona HB 2517 also grants permission for gun rights groups and individuals
to sue local lawmakers and agency officials for attempting to approve or
enact a local gun law which exceeds limitations imposed by the state. If
successful in such a legal endeavor, the injured gun rights group or
individual can be reimbursed for “actual damages” up to the tune of $100,
000.
Another of the Arizona gun laws would allow law enforcement officers to
charge an individual who wrestles a gun away from another person with
aggravated assault – doing so is already a felony offense. Nothing in the
law appears to inflict such a penalty on an individual who is defending
themselves or others from an active shooting.
The fourth Arizona pro-gun bill would prohibit municipalities from
restricting the shooting of guns on private property. Currently more than
200,000 Arizona residents possess concealed carry permits. All four of the
Arizona gun rights laws must now be approved by the full governing body
before being placed on Governor Jan Brewer’s desk for signature.
