concealed weapons; notice; repeal

Summary

The bill allows anyone with a valid concealed‑handgun permit to carry the weapon inside bars and restaurants unless the establishment displays a specific, state‑designed sign prohibiting firearms. The sign’s size, wording, pictogram, and placement are strictly prescribed, and the Department of Liquor Licenses and Control must supply it free of charge. A permit holder can raise an affirmative defense if they were not properly informed of the sign, the sign was down, they are not an Arizona resident, or the sign was posted less than 30 days before the alleged violation.
