PHOENIX — Arizonans won’t be able to bring their guns legally onto college campuses, at least not this year.
Gov. Katie Hobbs on Tuesday vetoed legislation crafted by Rep. Rachel Jones, R-Tucson, to bar public universities or colleges from adopting any rules that prohibit someone with a permit to carry a concealed weapon from bringing it onto campus. The legislation also would have allowed those with CCW permits to store their weapons there.
Jones told colleagues during hearings this is simply an extension of the Second Amendment with its language saying that the right of people to be armed “shall not be infringed.”
