<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Here in Arizona, one not need have a concealed weapon permit, as it is not required by law. A gun, concealed, or not, can be carried almost anywhere. However, there are restricted places where concealed weapons are not allowed. BARS, SCHOOLS, including universities, (if it is against their rules), inside jails, at a polling place on election day.. (not sure if AZ serves alcohol on election day..) Also, a private business may put a sign up. "Firearms not allowed in this building" Which is common in medical buildings, and some stores.<br>
<br></div>Maricopa County is a very violent place to live. Recently, there was an incident downtown, where 3-4 men robbed a strip club. Things got out of hand and ran a muck, as they often do in these kind of situations. A Phoenix Police Officer was shot, as was one of Sheriff Joe's off duty posse members... Sad thing was, one of the men grew up in Moscow, and at one time, had a promising basketball career in front of him, until life intervened. <br>
<br></div>Someone stole from a shopping mall, and some guy drew his gun and shot him. I could go on and on..<br><br></div>To be honest, seldom to do I think of being shot by someone. People are going to get a gun regardless if they need to apply for a permit or not.. Just like hard drugs, the guns are here. I'm more concerned about the crazy drivers behind the wheel of a multi-ton weapon, than a gun in the hand of someone. Most of the gun deaths down here are someone shooting somebody they know... That said.. I never go out after dark. <br>
<br></div>Oh, one more thing which happened recently. On facebook, there are groups of people who have online garage sales.. So, I joined one in my area.. There were 8k people in this group. On the SECOND day, some guy puts up an ad for 9 GUNS!! Two were semi-automatic. I looked at those guns and wondered where they had been and where they were going.. the guy selling them had a thuggish look to him. Am I prejudging him by his looks? With 9 guns for sale, I think not! I kind of freaked out, called the police, and was told it was legal. Quit that facebook group then and there. It is supposed to be against facebook policy to sells guns in these groups. However, there is no definitive way to report guns being for sale. <br>
<br></div>I don't drink, but if I did, there is no way I'd go into a bar of crazy drunk people. I used to tend bar at The Garden, and North Idaho Cowboy Bar in Troy.. people who are normally very nice when sober, can, and do get ornery as a bear in a bee hive after two too many.<br>
<br></div>Hope everyone is well, and your first day of Spring is a warm one!<br></div>Janesta<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 6:41 PM, Tom Hansen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:thansen@moscow.com" target="_blank">thansen@moscow.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Pub Owner Sparks Outrage With Sign Banning Concealed Weapons</h1><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">A South Carolina pub owner is facing intense public backlash after he posted a sign forbidding patrons from bringing concealed weapons into his bar.</span></p>
