I'm new to the forum and new to Arizona. We've lived here 3 months now. I've been doing my research and meeting andtalking to everyone I can about open carry in AZ. I came from Texas and have CC for as long as its been allowed. There are a few good - sensible parts of the Texas CC law that I wish we had here in AZ. One is carrying in restaurants and bars. Texas has a 51% law which I think makes good sense. If a business makes 51% of its profit from the sell of alcohol you can't carry in there and they have to post a sign to that effect. But in AZ you can't carry open or concealed in any business that serves alcohol to drink - period. Well - that eliminates a lot of restaurants because almost everyone serves some form of alcohol. But - in AZ you can buy hard liquor in every grocery store and drug store. So there are no "liquor stores" like we have in Texas. I've read some discussions about efforts to tweak the AZ law to allow carrying in restaurants. Does anyone know where the legislature is with this or if there are any petitions out there to promote this?
Thanks a lot.
