Latest from AzCDL:

We need YOUR help on SB 1251.

SB 1251 – http://www.azleg. gov/DocumentsFor Bill.asp? Bill_Number= SB1251

Strengthens the "public establishment or event" storage requirements:
· Defines "secure storage" and "readily accessible."
· Prohibits recording information about the weapon or individual.
· If "operator" doesn't comply, they can't prohibit weapons.
· Exempts CCW permit holders from carry prohibitions except in court houses, etc.

The success of SB 1251 hinges on providing facts and testimony about State and local agencies and municipalities not complying with the storage requirements established during the last legislative session: http://tinyurl. com/2qtjlf

As you can see from this article in the Arizona Daily Star, while some cities are doing a great job of complying with the law, not all of our Public Servants are eager to set up storage lockers for your weapon when they post signs that in essence say, "We don't serve your kind here":

Since the new law became effective on 9/21/06, many of you have shared anecdotal stories about storage lockers not being available; data being recorded about you and your weapon; guns being tossed into boxes or bags; and downright refusal to store your weapon. It's time to go on record to emphasize the need for SB 1251.

It is our understanding that SB 1251 will be added to the February 12, 2007 Senate Judiciary committee agenda:

If you have encountered any "public establishment" storage situations which you felt were not in compliance with the law, AzCDL and the Senate Judiciary committee members need to hear from you. Send the committee members an email, with a courtesy copy to president@AzCDL. org:

Email Subject: SB 1251 - Please vote YES!

Please start the body of your text with: The Arizona Citizens Defense League (AzCDL) has informed me that the Senate Judiciary committee will be hearing testimony on SB 1251.

Then, go on to describe your encounter or observation of non-compliance with the storage law in your own words. Include as much factual information as you can – things like the place and date are very important. Please be civil – it's very helpful! Also, stick to the subject – focus on non-compliance with the current storage laws.

If you are willing to testify at their committee hearing, please state that in your message.

Finally, thank them for taking the time to read your message and urge them to pass SB 1251 out of committee for consideration by the full Senate.

Don't forget to include:

Your Name
street address
city, state and zip
telephone number

The following are cut-and-paste email lists of the committee members, along with the AzCDL president's email address. One list is semi-colon separated and one is comma separated. Use the one that fits your email software.

(semi-colon separation)
