Arizona Allows Guns In Bars

Guns in restaurants and bars is about to become a reality in Arizona after a 5-year battle.

Beginning tomorrow, anyone with a Arizona-issued permit to carry a concealed weapon will be able to bring it into a bar or restaurant where beer, wine or liquor is sold. It will be up to business owners to post a “no weapons” sign if they don’t want their patrons to be armed.

Bill Weigele, president of the Arizona Licensed Beverage Association, said it’s not yet clear to him how many places will seek to continue to keep out customers who are armed.
