Arizona has passed and the Governor will sign this week, Constitutional Carry. No permit needed to open or conceal. They will still have a permit for reciprocity and that is it.I am certainly glad no one got hurt .That is exactly the sort of irrisonsiobility the anti's jump on.These f.n Rambos and dumb ass Bubba's .This guy should loose his carry ticket indefinately.I don't believe in mandatory forced training but most people are smart enough to get trained up before they start carrying.
He was booked into the downtown Phoenix jail on six counts of endangerment and firing a weapon in city limits.
I met a fellow gun-toter a couple of years ago out in public. We stood there chatting about firearms and what we carry. He reached to his holster, pulled out his sidearm and motioned to hand it to me and said "check it out."
Immidiately I said "no, that's ok."
I was shocked that he would just pull his sidearm out of his holster in public and hand it over to me. NEVER!
The only place I have ever done that in public is at a gun store, and the weapon is always cleared before handing it over.I met a fellow gun-toter a couple of years ago out in public.

+1 general rule of thumb, with all my friends, we always drop ammo and clear, before handing over our toys, er uh, I mean tools.Sylvia Plath wrote:The only place I have ever done that in public is at a gun store, and the weapon is always cleared before handing it over.I met a fellow gun-toter a couple of years ago out in public.

I have had a few hand their carry piece to me at a backyard party or such, but I immediately clear it and hand them back the ammo before looking it over. It seems to make something in their mind click, and realize how stupid that was.
I will definately do that next time. I forget sometimes that there are some who do not fully grasp proper firearm etiquette.I have had a few hand their carry piece to me at a backyard party or such, but I immediately clear it and hand them back the ammo before looking it over.
