Description
AzCDL believes that the emphasis of gun laws should be on criminal misuse and that law-abiding citizens should be able to own and carry firearms unaffected by unnecessary laws or regulations. Towards that end, we are pursuing the following legislative improvements: - "Constitutional Carry" The right of law-abiding citizens to carry a firearm openly or concealed. - Restoration of "Affirmative Defense" The right of presumed innocence in a self-defense situation. - Stronger State Preemption Firearms laws should be consistent throughout the State. - Fewer restrictions on the lawful carrying of firearms on Public property (buildings, parks, etc.). - Explicit 3rd Party Storage Requirements when entering a posted "No Guns" facility. - Liability responsibility for property owners who ban firearms. - Universal Recognition of CCW (concealed weapons) permits issued by other States. - Improvements to CCW laws. - "Restaurant Carry" The ability of law-abiding citizens to dine out while carrying a firearm.
