Arizona Lawmakers Approve Bill Allowing Guns in Bars

“The Arizona Senate has given final approval to a bill that would allow people with concealed weapons permits to carry a gun into a business that serves alcohol.

Supporters say they should be able to protect themselves and their families even if they happen to be inside a business serving alcohol.

Anyone else think this measure is stupid? The drunken machismo of bar hounds is already bombastic enough. Why do people put their life's energy into this legislation?

How about letting the owner decide?

On July 4th, 2009 Patriot83 says:

I think it makes more sense to let the owner of the property decide if a weapon may be brought onto his property. I seem to go back and forth on this between 2nd amendment rights and property rights. But definitely better than letting the government decide what's best.

No Charges Filed Against Reno Man In Winnemucca

Yep its a good law......it happen here and save lives.

Two people injured during a shootout at a Winnemucca bar that left three others dead have been released from the hospital.

Police say a 22-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man were released from the hospital Monday.

Authorities continue to investigate the shootings that they believe may have been sparked by a simmering feud between several local families.

Winnemucca Police Chief Bob Davidson says the violence erupted around 2:30 A.M. Sunday when a man entered the crowded Players Bar and Grill. He fatally shot two brothers, 20-year-old Jose Torres and his 19-year-old brother, Margarito. The shooter was later identified as 30 year old Ernesto Villagomez. All three were from Winnemucca.

According to witnesses, Villagomez at some point stopped to reload his high-capacity handgun and began shooting again when he was shot and killed by another patron - a 48-year-old Reno man who had a valid concealed weapons permit.

The Reno man was initially taken into custody as a person of interest, but later released after Humboldt County District Attorney Russell Smith determined the shooting was justifiable homicide.
