Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and the state Legislature have clashed over legistation related to guns.
BY ANALISA TROFIMUK, Lee Enterprises Two bills that would have allowed parents with concealed carry permits to be shielded from prosecution if they brought their firearms into gun-free zones and would require mandatory firearm training for students were vetoed on April 17 by Gov. Katie Hobbs.
One of the bills, HB 2332, would have installed a gun safety program for middle and high school students that has been used by the National Rifle Association for more than 30 years. Hobbs, a Democrat, wrote in her veto letter allowing more guns onto Arizona’s campuses will “not make a campus safer" and that"firearms on campus have the potential to confuse law enforcement as they arrive at an active shooter situation.

There are 19 states including D.C. that currently have red flag laws.
The funding comes with requirements including that states implement a Crisis Intervention Advisory Board that would assist in the implementation of efforts to prevent gun violence. In Arizona, the board will play a key role in deciding the priorities of addressing gun violence in the state.
