From CalNRA email:
ARIZONA On Tuesday, February 13, at 8:30 a.m., the House Committee on Retirement & Government Operations will consider two NRA-backed bills.
HB 2213 seeks to expand the current reciprocity statute to recognize Right to Carry permits issued by any state, while also simplifying the renewal process for Right to Carry permits, and HB 2218 seeks to allow Right to Carry permit holders to carry firearms for self-defense in restaurants that are licensed to serve alcohol.
Call members of the committee and/or attend Tuesday's hearing in House Hearing Room 3 of the State Capitol and urge them to vote for HB 2213 & HB 2218.
Also on Tuesday, at 1:30 p.m, the Senate Judiciary Committee will consider two NRA-opposed bills. SB 1549 seeks to mandate the use of trigger locks or other locking devices on all firearms in every home—thus rendering a firearm useless for self-defense. It also would allow holding adults criminally responsible if a minor gains access to a firearm that has not been secured in a manner approved by the government and injures or kills another person—even though Arizona law already provides penalties for reckless endangerment, under which an adult found grossly negligent in the storage of a firearm under certain circumstances can be prosecuted for a felony offense.
SB 1566 seeks to mandate that all private firearm transfers at gun shows include a federal background check—even transfers between relatives, neighbors, and close friends. Call members of the committee and/or attend Tuesday's hearing in Senate Hearing Room 1 of the State Capitol and urge them to oppose SB 1549 & SB 1566.

ARKANSAS SB 190, which seeks to repeal the minimum 10-year sentence for brandishing a firearm while committing a felony, will be heard by the House Judiciary Committee this Tuesday. SB 190 would be a major step backwards in the battle to ensure that individuals who commit violent crimes are severely punished. Contact members of the committee at (501) 682-6211 and urge them to oppose SB 190.

Looks like NM needs some CCW help (Oatka).
