Arizona lawmakers again debating guns in bars, restaurants
KPHO Phoenix is reporting that Arizona legislators are again weighing whether to allow people to take guns in bars and restaurants if the bearers aren't drinking alcohol and if the establishments don't opt out.
Under a bill endorsed this week by the Senate Judiciary Committee, people could carry weapons in bars and restaurant but only in those establishments which didn't post notices prohibiting it. Also, a person could not drink alcohol while carrying a gun.
The story notes a similar measure was narrowly defeated in the Senate last year but two senators who voted against it then have since left the Legislature. The House approved it last year.
