We could speculate a variety of different reasons why they are doing this: slow response time from law enforcement, inadequate funding for sufficient security, has previously had multiple robberies, and not to mention [...]
Texas state representative, Suzanna Gratia-Hupp, whose parents were killed by an insane gunman while her gun was out in the car, gives very moving and bold testimony (October 1, 2003) about the REAL reason that the second amendment was designed to protect our God-given right to keep and bear arms. “People should not be afraid [...]

Governor Brewer signed SB 1108, the Constitutional Carry bill, into law today, April 16, 2010. Arizona now becomes the third state to not require written permission from the government for law-abiding citizens to exercise their right to bear arms discretely.
