State lawmakers gave preliminary approval Thursday to legislation allowing any adult to carry a concealed weapon.
Under current law, only those with a state permit can have a weapon hidden under a jacket, in a purse or elsewhere. That permit requires completing a state-approved training course on the law and handling the weapon and a background check.
SB 1102 was drafted by Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, who said the law hobbles only law-abiding citizens, as those who intend to harm or rob don’t obey it.
Sen. Ken Cheuvront, D-Phoenix, managed to attach an amendment to require that anyone who sells a weapon at a gun show must first verify the buyer is a U.S. citizen.
