The Arizona Senate has given final approval to a bill that would allow people with concealed weapons permits to carry a gun into a business that serves alcohol.
The 19-8 vote completes legislative action on the bill and sends it to Republican Gov. Jan Brewer. She has not said whether she will sign it, but she has long been a supporter of gun rights.
Before the anti-gun nuts chime in… remember that we are not talking about people being allowed to drink while carrying a weapon. We are talking about allowing a sober person to carry a weapon in an establishment that sells alcohol. For example, one could go to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse with a weapon and have a nice steak with some iced tea.
I would also point out that many states already have this and the dire predictions of blood streaming under the stools at the bars has not come to pass.
