Thank you, Governor Brewer

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has signed into law the gun-rights bills that we previously noted had been approved by the state Legislature:

"Brewer signed into law a proposal that will allow the state's 125,000 carriers of concealed-weapons permits to bring their firearms into bars and restaurants. The measure allows bar owners to remain gun-free by posting signs prohibiting weapons. Permit-holders would be prohibited from drinking in a bar while carrying their firearms...

Brewer's approval of a second proposal will prohibit property and business owners from banning guns from parking areas, so long as the weapons are kept locked in privately owned vehicles...

Lastly, Brewer OK'd a proposal that allows any individual who feels threatened to indicate that they're carrying a weapon without violating intimidation statutes. The law only applies for instances of self-defense."

The new laws go into effect on September 30.

On behalf of all the freedom-loving people in Arizona, Governor, thank you very much. We won't soon forget your actions in support of us.
