Arizona New Gun law

[NateIU10]

I feel sorry for the LEO's in Arizona. Now when they find a BG with a handgun, they will have to give it back to him since it's legal for him to have it without a license.

I feel sorry for people that feel a permit is needed to carry a gun. Felon in possession is still illegal, so I see no problem with respecting the Second Amendment.

montana made law

Has anyone heard of this new (ok to me maybe) law in Montana, Tennesee, Idaho, Wyoming? it goes like this, if a gun is made in those states for people in those states, they don't have to go through the brady nonsense,or fill out a form 4473....sounds great to me anyone want to help me make some guns here in good old Indiana? In state would be considered intra-state, not inter-state, so no fed laws apply!

better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6..even before I got my permit, when I lived in Ky if I was going into a rough area, I carried I was going about my own business and had no intention of harming anyone...cept a bad guy, as far as I was concerned, I was breaking no law, except a stupid one!

Several states. BATFE is stating it's a federal violation. One state has stated they will arrest and jail BATFEs trying to hassle citizens.

Times .. they are a changing.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Yes, but changing for the better in this regard.

Think about it, in 1987 we were fighting to get a license to carry a pistol. Now in 2010 the Bradys are fighting to keep licensing.

 

[Donnelly]

Yes, from the long range persective that only a person of many years can appreciate, it looks like our gun rights are slowly being restored. 1994-2004 was a dark spot on our history, but if we had to endure that so that others would wake up and see the erosion of our rights, and demand that those rights be restored, then so be it.

Hey! Was that a shot?

 

[Donnelly]

If it was, it is one I share in, Kirk!

Looks like per local arizona site Arizona Local News - Phoenix Arizona News - Breaking News - azcentral.com I do believe but looks like they are going to become the third state in the Union to not require a permit to carry a gun. Ah how I love that State right behind my home state of Indiana.

Indiana requires a permit for any sort of carry. Who's running on the promise to fix this?

This is another law that Arizona has just passed, as well. Similar to the other states. Essentially, it is a challenge to the broad interpretation of the commerce clause in the US Constitution, which is the basis for essentially ALL federal law, excepting those things specifically enumerated in Article 1, section 8 (I think that is the right place).

As far as AZ law to purchase a firearm: from a FFL, the same as any other state. Most of the laws regarding what an FFL is required to check for are federal laws. AZ does allow for skipping the background check if the purchaser presents a valid CCW permit. Since essentially the same background check is needed to obtain the permit, it is considered adequate for purchasing, as well.

For private sales, there are currently no restrictions that I am aware of, except for selling to someone that you know to be a prohibited possessor, or of course, conducting a straw man purchase for someone else.
