Noted author and gun law expert Alan Korwin (see www.gunlaws.com ) has kindly offered his expertise by penning some important proposed legislation in the great state of Arizona. Legislation such as this could save many lives, by exposing the murderous fraud of so-called "Gun Free Zones", and by ensuring that businesses and governmental agencies recognize the liability they create with fraudulent victim disarmament zones.
This legislation is scheduled for the upcoming Arizona legislative calendar, and the support behind this bill is growing larger every day ... it is creating a great deal of excitement in AZ.
As we consider this important legislation, let's also remember Louis (Sandy) Javelle, murdered on December 26, 2000 at Edgewater Technology in Wakefield, MA. Sandy was the 3rd victim of lunatic Michael McDermott, killed while he attempted to stop that bloodbath. Sandy was also an FFL, and had a NH permit to carry ... but the laws of MA prevented him from defending his own life, as well as the lives of his coworkers. Those Massachusetts' laws did nothing to prevent the carnage that day, but rather helped murder Sandy and his associates.
It is time for the truth to be told. So-called "gun-free zones" are state-sanctioned victim disarmament zones, and only abet murder and assault.
Please consider this legislation closely. And, please encourage your own state legislators to sponsor such a bill.
Regards from AZ. Happy New Year!
