Going to Phoenix this weekend

Post by timdsmith72 »

Does anybody know if Arizona has a 30.06 sign equivalent? Is a simple gun buster sign enough to keep you out of a place?
I've searched, but my Google Fu is not strong today....Maybe I need more coffee......

Thanks! :tiphat:

From http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/arizona.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Prohibitions on carrying firearms in these venues apply to both open and concealed carry.
· Any establishment or event open to the public where the operator makes a reasonable request for you
to give them custody or remove the weapon from the premises. A sign would qualify for such
request.
By law, cities and counties are required to offer on-site storage if they ban weapons but not
all are in compliance.
· The grounds of any school, other than the parking lot. In order to be legal in the parking lot the
weapon must be unloaded, and, if left in an unattended vehicle, such vehicle must be locked and the
weapon out of sight.
· Commercial nuclear or hydroelectric generating stations.
· Polling places on Election Day.
· Correctional facilities (this includes the parking lot of such facilities).
· Game refuges (except during an authorized hunt).
· You can take a firearm onto school property if you follow the procedure below.

You are an adult in a vehicle and the firearm is unloaded before entering school grounds. Furthermore, if you
must exit your vehicle, the firearm must remain unloaded and be secured (locked) within the vehicle, out of
plain view (ARS 13-3102.I.1) Use caution and common sense if you must exit the vehicle with a firearm to
secure it in the trunk (avoid causing a potentially serious disturbance)
"If an operator of a public establishment or a sponsor of a public event requests that a person carrying a
deadly weapon remove the weapon, the operator or sponsor shall provide temporary and secure storage. The
storage shall be readily accessible on entry into the establishment or event and allow for the immediate
retrieval of the weapon on exit from the establishment or event." Some agencies and jurisdictions are
choosing to not comply with the new laws - there are no penalties for non-compliance.
M. For the purposes of this section:
1. "Public establishment" means a structure, vehicle or craft that is owned, leased or operated by this state or
a political subdivision of this state.
2. "Public event" means a specifically named or sponsored event of limited duration that is either conducted
by a public entity or conducted by a private entity with a permit or license granted by a public entity. Public
event does not include an unsponsored gathering of people in a public place.
3. "School" means a public or nonpublic kindergarten program, common school or high school.
4. "School grounds" means in, or on the grounds of, a school.
Parking Lots: SB 1168 signed by the Governor will prohibit property and business owners from banning
guns from parking areas, so long as the weapons are kept locked in privately owned vehicles. The law
exempts parking lots that are fenced or guarded, as well as those that provide secure gun storage.
So, I interpret that as any sign is valid.
