Those of you who have an AZ CCW card passage of this bill would nearly triple the states in which your AZ CCW card is legal.
Here's the email alert I got today. D.

Please contact Governor Hull immediately! Pass this on to every
self-defense minded person you know.
Late yesterday, Senate Bill 1297 passed the Arizona House and Senate by
overwhelming margins. The bill
makes much needed improvements to Arizona's CCW permit reciprocity
statute. What does this mean to
permit holders? It will mean that their Arizona permit will authorize
them to carry concealed firearms in many
additional states across the country. Currently, Arizona reciprocates
with only five other states. It is my
conservative estimate that this number will grow to between 15 and 20
states if SB 1297 is signed into law.
Any permittee who travels outside of Arizona for business or leisure
appreciates the importance of this
legislation.
While the Senate and House passed the bill by overwhelming margins, I am
getting some indications from the
Governor's Office that there may be a possible veto on the horizon. One
way to avert this is by flooding Hull's
office with calls of support. Call her office at (602) 542-4331 and
respectfully ask that she "sign SB 1297;
Concealed Weapons." The administrative assistant keeps a tally of pro
and con calls. Believe it or not, Hull
and her staff look at these numbers when considering their options.
We were able to kill "mandatory storage in the home" and "gun show
loopholes" this year. Instead of simply
maintaining our position, let's make sure we gain a little ground
against the anti-freedom forces.
Please take 30 seconds out of your day to make the call and forward this
message to as many others as
possible.
Thank you.
