You guys crack me up. It's a college town, filled with young people. Of course it has a liberal flavor compared to the aging retirement communities further south. Unless AZ has changed its laws, it's still a community where you can open carry. It's been almost 15 years since I lived there, but I frequently observed open carry on the streets and in businesses. I remember there was a combo liquor and gun store in Flag called Ruff's Liquor and Guns. "Yeah, give me a 12 pack of Bud Light and a couple boxes of 125 gr. .357 to go." It ain't MA, that's for sure.
