New AZ law on self defense and a firearm.

Arizona has done away with permits to carry concealed. Just carry!

Past CCW Clients:

A relatively new law became effective 9/30/09. It's favorable to us, the honest citizen. I thought it important to remind you of it or advise you it exists, if you took your class from me prior to that date. Here are the details:

"It's a self-defense justification that permits the defensive display of a firearm when and to the extent a reasonable person would believe that physical force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the use or attempted use of unlawful physical force or deadly physical force" A.R.S. 13-421.

Defensive Display means:
1. Verbally informing an aggressor that one is armed.
2. Exposing or displaying a firearm in a manner that a reasonable person would understand is meant to protect against the aggressor's use or attempted use of unlawful physical force or deadly physical force.
3. Placing one's hand on a firearm that is contained in a pocket, purse, or other means of containment or transport.

".....under most circumstances, the CCW p[ermittee should refrain from actually drawing a gun in self-defense, unless faced with an imminent threat of serious bodily injury or death. If confronted only with a threat of unlawful, non-deadly physical force, defensive display should be restricted to verbally informing the aggressor that you are armed and/or placing your hand on the firearm without drawing it".

so does this mean i should start acting like i am in the old west again. gun on the hip and ready to draw down!

Not really "fast draw" but it is sure dropping the crime rate re: car jackings etc.
Big problem here with illegal aliens. Friend of mine has eliminated two crossing his ranch in Texas. Remember, never let your hands or face get hurt. Keep packing!

I guess the ATF decided that since you all were armed down there that they would make it a more even fight by arming every one of the drug cartel south of the border with the best of the best assualt weapons courtesy of your tax paying dollars. something about wanting to be able to track them? Yeah right how many are dead lately just on the mexican side of the border?
I don't blame you all down there but I think I'd invest even more maybe plant some ied's in your fields and hire some of those crazy talleywhackers who strap on bombs and blow themselves up telling them that those mexican cartels are talking bad crap on allah. That ought to do it.
