such worry.

Where'd you get that idea? Arizona is an "Open Carry" state. Subject to some
restrictions, you may strap on your hog-leg and meander unmolested just
about anywhere.

We need laws that say I can carry my frigging gun ANYWHERE I want as
long as I'm not a prohibited possessor. I shouldn't have to leave it
behind to go in a restaurant just because the owner has a fear of
guns. We don't let them keep out Muslims because they have a fear of
Muslim people!

Ah, the eternal debate between gun carry and private property rights. We
mostly solved that in Texas by allowing private property owners (bars,
churches, auto repair shops, etc.) to post a sign. But here's the trick: The
sign must carry specific statutory language:

"Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to
carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Article 4413(29ee),
Revised Statutes (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a
concealed handgun"

The sign must also have the same wording in Spanish, be in letters 1" or
more in height, and displayed near every door to the establishment. The
sign, when all this is done, will be about 2x3 feet in size. As it turns
out, about six places in the entire state have gone to the trouble...
