Sorry... I'm not ready to open the gate, haul down the flag and let anybody from elsewhere come waltzin' in doin' whatever the hell they feel like. At the border crossing into Nogales, Mexico... there's a big sign: "NO WEAPONS ALLOWED". Years ago... (1969) I startled a Canadian Border dude when he asked if I had any firearms. "Yeah... right here. A Winchester .30-30." I had to unload it and put it in the trunk.Today... I don't think I could cross into BC (or anywhere in Canada) with a firearm. If he can't carry in Canada... let him work to fix that in his own country.
Point is... this guy wants to carry for the novelty of it. Not only that... he feels compelled to 'kill' something... If he can't find a coyote... it'll be an eagle, hawk, falcon, vulture... or whatever else he can find to shoot at. I know the type. 'Can't just enjoy the wild things w/o wantin' to kill somethin'. This isn't about self defense... it's a novelty. Well... he'll find out soon enough what this desert is about in August.
Maybe have a run-in with a momma Javelina or one of 5 kinds of rattler. That is... if the cholla 'n 'pear don't tear his legs up first. We have a couple people disappear in this desert every year. 'Never fails.
Then... there's the Border Patrol checkpoints. I don't think a huntin' license will float if he has a hang-up with them while open carrying. He's not here on an immigrant visa... he's a FOREIGN TOURIST. The AZConstitution extends to citizens and 'resident' aliens... not TOURISTS. If you are not engaged in 'hunting'... then you are carrying illegally. There's no way anybody could justify carrying into a McDonalds in Phoenix... or Wickenburg... or Tucson and claim they were 'hunting'. If he gets into a situation and actually has to shoot somebody... He's screwed! Then... there's the Indian nations to consider.
As for you marshaul... STFU! You can't even carry loaded in SF... and doubtful you OC at all in the city. A 'sanctuary' city at that. NOTHING preceeds our national sovereignty. Not that you've ever done anything (or would) to defend it.
