Train Me Arizona Campaign On Thursday, July 29, 2010 all that changed when SB 1108 became the
law in Arizona, restoring the right of law-abiding adults to bear arms
Kick Off openly or discreetly without needing a government permit.
JUL 30, 2010 08:49P.M.
However, exercising freedom comes with a cost – responsibility. Each of
Train Me Arizona Campaign Kick Off us is responsible to know the law, and to have the proper mindset, skills
and ability that come with “bearing arms.” Proper and continuous
training has always been our individual responsibility. The good news is
that we no longer have to rely on government mandates to determine
what training we need and should get.

To promote training in the skill at arms and the exercise of our


fundamental right to keep and bear arms on a statewide scale, AzCDL is
a partner in the new “Train Me Arizona” campaign:
www.trainmeaz.com.

We encourage you to become involved also. This is the armed citizenry


envisioned by our nation’s Founders – aware of our freedoms and
exercising them responsibly. Remember, the nation, and the world, are
watching Arizona. We have made history together. How we, as gun
owners and activists, respond to the restoration of our right to bear
arms, sets the trend for other states to follow. Wear this responsibility
with pride!
Train Me Arizona Campaign Kick Off
For more information on the Train Me Arizona campaign, go to:
www.trainmeaz.com .

About:
AzCDL believes that the emphasis of gun laws should be on criminal
misuse and that law-abiding citizens should be able to own and carry
firearms unaffected by unnecessary laws or regulations. AzCDL was
founded by a group of local activists who recognized that a sustained,
coordinated, statewide effort was critical to protecting and expanding the
rights of law-abiding gun owners. As a like-minded coalition of activists,
the AzCDL founders were instrumental in the successful passage of the
first major improvement to Arizona’s CCW (concealed carry) laws since
they were instituted in 1994. Visit: www.azcdl.org

Another major misconception when it comes to collecting antique
firearms is what exactly is the purpose of obtaining a 03 Federal
Firearms License, sometimes called the Curio and Relic (C&C) license. It
should be stressed that holding a C&R FFL doesn’t actually make one a
dealer, but rather this is a special license for firearms collectors. It allows
these collectors to purchase C&R FFL eligible guns across state lines and
to receive them directly. Introduced as part of the Gun Control Act of
1968, the 03 FFL does not entitle those individuals to be in the business
of reselling guns as a dealer. The C&R list changes yearly and readers
should consult the list to determine if a specific gun is on said list.

Justice Sanders from “sticking to his guns” when it came to the Second
Amendment! He wrote the opinion this February that held the Second
Amendment applies to the states, anticipating the U.S. Supreme Court
decision.

Sanders wrote, “Gun ownership is an inexorable birthright of American


tradition. Americans who participated in the Revolution of 1776 and
adopted the Bill of Rights held the individual right to have and use arms
against tyranny to be fundamental.” State v. Sieyes, 225 P.3d 995
(2010)

Our gun rights are fundamental! I couldn’t have said it better


myself!

Of course this isn’t the only opinion from Justice Sanders on gun rights.
In a closely divided court he fiercely dissented from a terrible majority
opinion in Pacific NW Shooting Park v. Sequim 158 Wn.2d 342 (2006)
that allowed the sheriff to shut down a gun show in clear violation of
state statute.

And in State v. Carter 151 Wn.2d 118 (2004) he demanded in dissent that
police have a search warrant before disassembling a weapon. And there
are many, many more opinions from this exceptional jurist protecting
our gun rights.

He has two opponents, but the most aggressive is Wiggins, an attorney


whom Governor Mike Lowry appointed to the appellate court and who
only lasted a short time before the voters sent him packing.

Please make a contribution today. Supreme Court races are decided in


the primary! The freedom that we have in Washington State could
disappear before our eyes if the ultra-liberal Wiggins tips the balance of
the court towards gun control.

The Judicial Ethics Code prevents Justice Sanders from personally


asking for your help. So, we must step in and do the asking for him:
please give generously today at www.friendsofjustice.com .

It’s the most important thing you can do today to protect your freedom.

Remember: www.friendsofjustice.com!

Thank you. Alan Gottlieb
