It is time to get loaded in Arizona. As we previously discussed, Arizona passed a law protecting the right to bear arms in bars. Well, the day has arrived for those who felt naked in bars with everyone ordering shooters while they left theirs at home.
Bars can post signs barring pistol-packing patrons, but now Arizona joins 41 states allowing the carrying of weapons in bars.
My personal recommendations for an accompaniment to your heater are the Bloody Mary, the Merry Widow, Rogue Dead Guy Ale, Birth Control, Bloody Brain, Capital Punishment, Coldcocked, . . . and of course, “Ernest Hemingway’s Death in the Afternoon.” There are all available at the NRA Pub where “we do the re-loading so you can have a barrel of fun.”

While the law passed, many fellow residents here in AZ hate the fact that this thing passed. Drunk people = stupid behavior, couple that with a loaded gun, everyone loses. Nearly every bar around the state was quick to put a “NO WEAPONS” sign up. The law passed but the residents do not need to participate.
Nów can we bring our guns to school, please?
Playtime can just get so boring sometimes…..
If you ever travel to Sierra Vista Arizona and especially Tombstone, you are in for a surprise! Texans’ ain’t got nothin’ on Arizonans’ when it comes to living a frontier lifestyle. When you walk the streets of Tombstone, you are amazed at how many citizens are tottin’ thumb-busters’ and hog-legs! At any moment you are expecting to see the haunting, gaunt figure of Doc Holliday, emerge from behind a livery stable or amble into the “Bird Cage Saloon”. This town is in a decided time-warp. It is a joy to live in the southwest, I couldn’t live anywhere else.
Re the law banning guns in churches, is that a violation of the First Amendment? There are bound to be some churches that encourage bringing a gun into the building.

Funny stuff, but the law does not allow one to drink while in possession of a weapon. The driving force (as I understand it) was that people with concealed carry permits should be allowed to bring their weapons into restaurants that serve alcohol. (Only those with a concealed carry permit are allowed to bring a weapon under the new law.)
I love Tombstone, “The Town to tough to die”. This is a very beautiful part of our country. My favorite part of Arizona is up around Holbrook, “the Big Sky Country of Arizona. Flagstaff is spectracular as well, just awesome..
If only Johnny Cash had some advice for this kind of situation…
The perfect comb: Drunks with reduced impulse control and firearms. Yeeeeeeeeeeehaw!
Buddha,
Thank-you for that post it is so funny and so true!
For more cocked-tail suggestions how about: Root Beer Barrels, Blue Steel, Bulge In My Pants, Unknown Warrior, Absolute Flat Liner, Sinus Clearer, Be Good and Drop, At Death’s Door, Grateful Dead, and of course the Corpse Reviver! Too bad patrons will no longer be satisfied with the good old Punch In The Mouth.

I cannot compete with the master.
But as to guns and alcohol, what could possibly go wrong with that combination? Am I the only person to ever watch or read a Western in this country? I think not, pard. And if you’re going to go that far? Don’t just allow guns. Make them mandatory.
And set up a dueling yard behind the buildings. Both bars and churches. If happiness is Love and God is Love then surely the Beatles had something going. Let’s add “Happiness Is A Warm Gun” to all the Hymnals. It’ll be appropriate to sing at the funerals for all those dead drunks.
Arkansas is debating guns in church while Arizona ok’s them in bars.
Got to be a national dementia going around, or at least a more unkind and more brutal nation.

I thought that I would add this to the mix:

WOW, and to think I have missed out on so much without having a gun, in a bar while drunk. Probably why I am not in prison.
