Arizona Republic:  “Arizona has always held tightly to its legacy as part of the gun-toting Wild West and a protector of individual rights.  This year, the state’s Republican governor and a conservative Legislature may continue that tradition by giving Arizonans some of the least-restrictive weapons laws in the nation.  This session, state lawmakers have proposed more than a dozen bills on expanding rights to carry and use guns and knives.  The proposed laws would allow people to carry concealed weapons without a permit, end requirements that guns manufactured and kept in Arizona be registered, and allow university professors to carry guns on school grounds.”
