Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard and 10 Arizona law enforcement officials have announced their strong opposition to another proposed gun law. They say a bill being considered in the Senate Judiciary Committee would significantly loosen Arizona’s gun l;aws by allowing gun owners to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.
Arizona currently requires gun owners applying for a concealed carry permit to take an eight hour course in gun laws and gun safety, and to pass a shooting test. All but a few states have similar laws. The new bill would drop the permit requirement and allow all gun owners 18 years old and over to carry concealed weapons.
Goddard says allowing all gun owners to carry concealed weapons would create greater risks for law enforcement and community safety. He says officers would have to treat every person they come in contact with as if they are armed. That would create large and unnecessary risks.
Very interessting!
