You're running a couple of different ideas together, Judas. There is a bill about allowing gun nuts to carry their fucking guns in bars ( as long as they don't drink!" which is separate from the dropping of the permit requirement for carrying concealed weapons.
The state continues to issue permits but it has more to do with the full faith and credit clause of the constitution.

Even though I would categorize the above site as a 'gun nut' site they still make some astonishingly good points about the entire issue.
I live in Arizona and the thought that every person nearby is carrying a gun is not at all comforting. There are just too many assholes out here.

Quote:Obtaining an Arizona concealed weapons permit is still a good idea. Reciprocity is a big factor. At this time, 29 states will honor your Arizona CCW — similar to their recognition of your Arizona driver’s license. Without a permit, your “right to carry” ends at the Arizona state line.

Gov. Jan Brewer signed SB 1108, a bill that decriminalizes the carrying of concealed weapons in the state of Arizona, on April 16. This bill will become law 90 days after the Legislature closes.
Arizona will become the third state, following Vermont and Alaska, allowing concealed carry without a permit. Arizona will be the first state with a large urban population to enact such legislation.
What does this mean? In short, any person 21 years of age or older legally qualified to own a firearm may carry a firearm in concealment, where not restricted, without fear of arrest or prosecution. The current system for issue of concealed weapons permits will remain in place. Persons wishing to join the more than 154,000 Arizonans who already have concealed weapons permits will have that option.
