Pearce: Lawmakers Can Carry Guns In Senate

Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce says it’s okay for State Senators to carry guns inside the Senate building.

Pearce says a member of the Legislature does not lose his or her Second Amendment rights when coming to work each day.

The policy does conflict with state law that prohibits weapons inside the Arizona House and Senate.

Pearce counters that the Arizona Constitution gives him the authority to make the rules within the building.-[source]
