Arizona’s legislature adjourned (Sine Die) on Thursday, April 29, 2010. The bills passed and signed into law become effective at 12:00AM in the morning of
July 29, 2010.
This has been an historic year for Arizona.
Constitutional Carry (SB 1108).
Knife Preemption (SB 1153) The nation’s first.
Strengthening existing firearms preemption statutes.
And of course, the Immigration Bill. Another nations first.
Constitutional Carry:
Opponents to this law, both here and in the rest of the country. are prophesying ‘rivers of blood in the streets’. Arizona has been an Open Carry without a permit for over 90 years without these rivers. Alaska and Vermont already have a form of Constitutional Carry. No rivers in either of these states.
The Immigration Bill:
For the law abiding citizen and law enforcement, nothing has really changed. The change is now the illegal wherever he is from, will go to jail instead of being handed over to ICE. With over 70% of the country in favor of this new bill, Texas is now drafting a similar bill mirroring Arizona’s. Of course, the passage of this bill finally sparked the attention of Obama. This bill should not, and would not, have been needed if the Federal Government had done it’s job.

Comments
I think the Constitutional Carry Law should be the law of the land as it is the way the Right of Self Defense was intended to be at the discretion of the individual to open carry, or conceal carry.
As to the Immigration law passed by Arizona, they did what had to be done, due to the fact that the Central Government had done nothing but talk the problem to death, that process has not worked in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan,or North Korea, one would think that they would see the folly of this process and man up to take a different approach.
I could be wrong, but i think the 70% in favor of the immigration bill was for Arizona residents, I heard the national percentage in favor of the bill was around 51%.
