AZ: Proposed bill would put a ban on banning gun shows
A bill that already garnered approval in the state Senate would bar Arizona municipalities from banning gun shows. One of the bill’s proponents warned the legislature could “make lives unpleasant” for municipalities that choose to do so, even if the bill never becomes law.
Bob Templeton, owner of the Crossroads of the West Gun Shows, is an advocate of Senate Bill 1428, telling the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that his show and others have been denied the usage of city and county-owned facilities to host their gun shows.
Crossroads of the West hosted its most recent Arizona show March 4 and 5 and has numerous additional shows planned for the Valley and Tucson throughout the rest of the year, including at the Pima County Fairgrounds in Tucson and the Arizona State Fairgrounds in Phoenix.
Republican Rep. Cory McGarr, of Marana, said that municipalities should not be able to infringe on Arizonans’ Second Amendment rights.
