Arizona Bars And Restaurants Soon Will Be Safer Places

Concealed handgun license holders in Arizona will soon be able to carry their sidearms into restaurants and bars.

Lawmakers there, understanding the public's will and interest in the basic human right of self defense, decided that self protection should not end becasue you enter a place of commerce.

Of course, the usual shrill fear-mongering is taking place as the media -- desperate to paint progress in a negative light -- turns over one rock after another to find someone who doesn't like the new law. They found a few and used them as the lead-ins for their news coverage of the change.

The bottom line: Decades of bigotry against law abiding citizens who merely want to be able to defend their lives continues to erode.
