PHOENIX -- Arizonans will not be allowed bring their guns into public buildings, at least not this year.Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed HB 2339 which would have allowed those who have a state-issued permit to carry a concealed weapon to ignore a "no guns' sign posted at the door. The only way a government agency could keep out all weapons would have been to install metal detectors and place armed guards at each public entrance.Separately, Brewer vetoed legislation to add more teeth to existing laws that pre-empt the right of cities to enact their own gun laws.
