Story here, although the story doesn't make clear just how self-defense was expanded.

My mistake, the bill simply adds "Or place of business" to the state code where it references "home" or "vehicle"
Counselor,
Can you give us your take on Governor Brewer's veto of the "campus carry" legislation in Arizona?
My understanding was that is was intended to allow CCW holders to use public right of way on campus.
On some other political boards I visit, the libs are making it out to be that she vetoed a law which would have allowed students who have "IQs lower than their age" to carry concealed firearms in classrooms.
I believe this was the bill that amended the current statute to say home OR place of business as right-to-absolute-safety "zones". Not to be confused with the Stand your Ground legislation from a couple years back that made clear there was no duty to retreat in public.
The case in question is the Jerome Ersland case, which is quite controversial here in OKC. Ersland was charged because the video allegedly shows him administering a coup-de-grace to one of the assailants. Not sure how this law would have changed the outcome of the Ersland case (still ongoing).
