Arizona Governor signs pro-gun hunting bill


Yesterday, March 25th, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law House Bill 2640, which passed in both houses by large bipartisan majorities and will eliminate restrictions on the magazine capacity of any authorized firearm regulated by the Arizona Game and Fish Commission.

HB 2640, introduced by state Representative Jerry Weiers (R-12), will allow more hunters to enter the field while preventing them from having to purchase additional, smaller-capacity magazines. The ability to hunt with any authorized firearm, regardless of its capacity, is a simple, common-sense idea. In addition, increased magazine size has become essential for self-defense while in remote areas because of the increased presence of drug smugglers and criminals on Arizona’s hunting lands. Hunters should not be prohibited from adequately defending themselves and HB 2640 will help solve this growing problem.
