AzCDL has added a Legislative Action Center to improve YOUR ability to contact Arizona legislators and share your opinion at http://capwiz.com/azcdl/home/ . This is the same interface used by Gun Owners of America and many other successful organizations.
To take action on the above bills from AzCDL’s Legislative Action Center home page, click on “Issues,” then click on “Legislative Alerts and Updates” (http://capwiz.com/azcdl/issues/?style=D&). There you will find a list of the bills mentioned in this Alert that require action. Clicking on any one of them will take you to an editable letter. You can add your own text or send it as is, after filing in the required fields. WE WILL NOT SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH ANYONE! We also recommend keeping the “remember me” box checked so that next time you send a letter there will be less work to do.
Our Legislative Action Center is new to us also. If you spot any errors or have any suggestions, please let us know by sending an email to treasurer@azcdl.org.

Looks like AZ has as many gun bills as Georgia does. Good luck with them.
Thanks, same to you & our fellow freedom loving Patriots in Georgia. :)

One thing I can't find out in the CCW bill if it totally eliminates the CCW process a la Vermont (bye bye reciprocity) or Alaskan-style carry which allows for a CCW if you want to cross state lines.
Any ideas on that?
Thanks for the link Mark.
Kevin: The Constitutional Carry bill will NOT remove the existing CCW process.
If passed, Arizonans would still be free to choose to go through the existing process to request a CCW permit so that they can enjoy reciprocity with other States, or to choose not to apply for one.
