On May 27th, Governor Janet Napolitano vetoed NRA-supported House Bill 2629, which would have allowed the defensive display of a firearm, sponsored by State Representative Russell Pearce. The Governor also vetoed Senate Bill 1106, sponsored by State Senator Chuck Gray, which would have created a lifetime concealed carry license for Arizona residents.
Although the 2008 legislative session will be adjourning soon, the NRA is not giving up on issues important to our members, and is still working to pass a bill to make the defensive display of a firearm legal. We will keep you posted on the progress of this effort.
