Arizona: Take Action on Pro-Gun Bills Scheduled for Committee Hearings on Wednesday

On Wednesday, March 12^th at 9:00am, the House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a committee hearing on two pro-gun bills that protect and enhance Second Amendment rights in Arizona.

Please use the Request to Speak application (RTS) on the Arizona State Legislature website to ask the committee to SUPPORT Senate Bills 1014 and 1020.

The House Judiciary Committee will hear the following bills:

Senate Bill 1014 amends Arizona’s definition of “Prohibited weapon” to no longer include suppressors. Current state law already exempts suppressors that are possessed, manufactured, or transported in compliance with federal law, which tightly regulates them. 

Senate Bill 1020 prohibits governing boards of universities, colleges, and community colleges from enacting or enforcing any policy preventing the carrying of concealed handguns by carry permit holders or preventing citizens from lawfully transporting or storing firearms in locked vehicles hidden from view. Adults who are officially licensed to carry a firearm for self-defense should not be prevented from doing so just because they seek higher education.

Again, please use the Request to Speak application (RTS) on the Arizona State Legislature website to ask the committee to SUPPORT Senate Bills 1014 and 1020.
