Reinforcing the Decision
Two headlines today have bolstered our confidence in the decision to relocate from Kalifornistan to the Arizona Republic:
California: Ventura County Assemblyman proposes ban on lead shot
Ventura County Assemblyman Pedro Nava, who three years ago authored a landmark law that barred the use of lead bullets by those hunting deer in areas where condors are known to forage, introduced new legislation Wednesday that would ban the use of lead shot by those hunting pheasant, quail, doves and other birds in California wildlife areas.
Note that there is no scientific evidence that lead shot is bad for the health of anything in the wild other than the target.
Arizona’s Concealed Carry Reform Bill (HB2347) Moving Forward!
Last week we told you that State Representative Adam Driggs (R-11), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, was refusing to release House Bill 2347.
After extensive conversations with Chairman Driggs, he has assured us that he was simply holding the bill in order to work with the bill’s sponsor to consider how amendments which were being drafted would affect Arizona’s law-abiding gun owners.
Chairman Driggs released the bill from his Committee on Monday, February 22 with his full support, so please contact your State Representatives and ask them to support HB2347. Contact information for your State Representatives can be found by clicking here.
We understand Chairman Driggs’ desire to know the final content of this bill before releasing it from his committee. Chairman Driggs has been a consistent champion for Second Amendment rights and a friend of the NRA.
