AZ gun owners have something to celebrate

September 24th, 2006 by Double Tap

If you are a gun owner or hunter in Arizona, then this last week was good one for you. As of this week, the following gun laws went into effect:

59 • HB2074 • §13-3112 • R • CCW permit renewals no longer require a two-hour refresher course

66–67 • HB2074 • §13-3112 • N • Arizona recognizes any firearm permit issued by any other state or subdivision of a state if the permit is valid where issued, and the permit holder is legally here, not a resident of Arizona, and not a prohibited possessor.

41, 43, 69 • HB2076 • §13-3102.01 • N • Temporary storage of deadly weapons at the request of a public establishment or public event must be secure and readily accessible at the entrance and immediately available upon leaving; does not apply to liquor licensees

127 • HB2130 • §17-316 • A • Interfering with the rights of hunters legally hunting is a class 2 misdemeanor. This includes placing yourself in the line of fire, disturbing wildlife or hunters, blocking access points and more.

45, 119 • SB1072 • §12-716 • N • Poorly written, but attempts to say that if a plaintiff in a lawsuit was harmed while committing a felony, the person harming the plaintiff was acting reasonably (and hence plaintiff’s claim is weakened or eliminated) if any of the following apply: the victim or police officer threatened or used physical or deadly physical force to either protect themselves against the plaintiff’s illegal use of such force, or to arrest, prevent or assist in preventing the plaintiff’s escape.

114 • SB1145 • §13-418 • N • The Castle Doctrine. You are justified in threatening or using physical force or deadly physical force against a person if you reasonably believe you or another person are in imminent peril of death or serious physical injury, and the person you act or threaten to act against had unlawfully or forcefully entered or was unlawfully or forcefully attempting to enter a residential structure or occupied vehicle, or had removed or was attempting to remove another person from the residential structure or occupied vehicle against their will. You have no duty to retreat before threatening or using physical force or deadly physical force in such situations. Residential structure is described in §13-1501. Vehicle means a
conveyance of any kind, motorized or not, designed to transport people or property.

114 • SB1145 • §13-420 • N • An important change that puts teeth in the protections against frivolous lawsuits by felony perpetrators who sue if they are harmed: The defendant may collect attorney fees, costs, compensation for lost income and all expenses incurred in defense on any civil action in which the defendant prevails and the defendant’s actions are found to be justified.

Again, great news for gun owners!
