So what is Eric English going to do for you now?

Depending on the store/parking lot size, there could be surveillance footage. Worth asking the store if you have not already done so. If you make a police report, go ahead and report some of your guns as being stolen too! 😉

Boulder shooting coming off the heels of Atlanta massage parlor shooting is too convenient. Never let a good crisis go to waste, right? Get ready for the "common sense gun control" we've been promised for years. It's coming.

I'm sure he is a solid guy and I do not intend any disrespect to him or his group. I admire his passion on the topic. I just happen to be on the opposite side of the aisle of him on this issue. I know these online forums can get nasty. I'm here for information, laughs, spirited debate, and good clean fun.

I'll be waiting... on the edge of my seat...

She ruined that line! haha

They can use the White House Press Secretary line "I'll circle back"

I bet they will "process" his response! 😂

Thank you for looking into this for us all. I, too, have seen many posts about a mysterious law in AZ that precludes an upfront payment draft like NM. But I have not seen anything specific. I was very excited when you posted the statute but I had to look at the applicable definitions and see whether it would apply. I open to the possibility that there is some law in AZ that prevents this, but I do not think it is A.R.S. 44-1703.

Definitely not a plant and also not your friend (although I'm open to accepting new friends 😉). Care to elaborate?

I don't think AZGFD meets the definition of a "credit services organization" 44-1701. Definitions In this article, unless the context otherwise requires: 1. "Buyer" means any natural person who is solicited to purchase or who purchases the services of a credit services organization. 2. "Credit services organization" means a person who, with respect to the extension of credit by others, sells, provides, performs or represents that he can or will sell, provide or perform any of the following services in return for the payment of monies or other valuable consideration: (a) Improving a buyer's credit record, history or rating. (b) Obtaining an extension of credit for a buyer. (c) Providing advice or assistance to a buyer with regard to either subdivision (a) or (b) of this paragraph.

Not sticking up for Sir Royal, but the letter from his/their attorney did not threaten to file a suit. The group of "sportsmen and women" do not have standing to file a lawsuit to enforce the Governor's Executive Orders and I suspect their attorney knows that. They paid him a couple thousand dollars to request public records, review those public records, and then write a letter. The group is happy at the moment (look at us and look at what our attorney said!) but I bet the letter gets mostly ignored.

Executive Orders 2020-02 and 2021-02 are in direct contravention with the authority granted to AZGFD under A.R.S. 17-231. Under A.R.S. 17-231, the State Legislature has granted AZGFD with broad authority to "adopt rules and establish services that it deems necessary to carry out the provisions and purposes of this title," "establish broad policies and long-range programs for the management, preservation and harvest of wildlife," and "establish hunting, trapping and fishing rules and prescribe the manner and methods that may be used in taking wildlife..." Therefore, AZGFD has the authority to regulate trail cameras despite the Governor's Executive Orders. The Executive Orders, if applied as requested by Eric English, would constitute an attempt to usurp the authority already granted to AZGFD by the duly elected representatives in the State Legislature. If the Governor decides to rescind the "permission" then AZGFD can and should simply allege that a proposed rule that ensures "fair chase" falls within the scope of "to prevent a significant threat to public health, peace or safety" and therefore should be met with the Governor's approval.

Joe Manchin did with your email what AZGFD did with all the emails in support of banning trail cameras: deleted it unread.

The NRA certainly has its issues, as do all large organizations. And I'm sure we could spend all day bashing the NRA. But they are still an important bulwark against anti 2A legislation. Who do you trust these days to stand up against anti 2A legislation?

Let's all use our $1,400 to buy another AR!

The House passed two bills. HR 8 requires a background check on a private transfers. It was passed in the House on 3/11/21 by a 227-203 vote. HR 1446 increases the background check time period. It was passed in the House on 3/11/21 by a 219-210 vote. Also, Sen. Feinstein is introducing an "Assault Weapons Ban" that would ban the sale of "assault weapons," limits magazine capacity to 10 rounds, and imposes other regulations. Current owners of "assault weapons" and "high capacity" magazines would be grandfathered in (but likely taxed on these items).

Probably at 5:01 p.m. on Friday so they can not have to deal with anything over the weekend. The longer they wait after the new deadline the more likely it will be that some will have additional issues. So the sooner the better!

Source? If you are correct, then AZGFD should have could have explained this to its customers in 1 of the 3 emails it has sent since the credit card update deadline. Also, AZGFD misled all of us by claiming they are still "processing" the draw and blaming it on 17,000 additional applications. To their credit, the recent email appears to be an attempt to make it right.

I believe the extra 17,000 applications came from California. They better not issue extra tags!

Preach! The process is a complete mess and there is no accountability whatsoever. 17,000 more applications shouldn't matter. Credit card update deadlines should matter. Really hope they can get it together for the next draw.

Yes but what good is the update deadline if nothing happens for weeks after that deadline? Obviously this is a problem with the process. The solution is simple: either (1) pay up front like NM (I understand some have said on this thread that there is legislation preventing this) or (2) run cards the day after the card update deadline.

I believe the service that was rendered at the point of the $13 payment was "processing" your application.

Regardless of whether you are patient or impatient with AZGFD and the card hits, it is obvious they are having issues well beyond the additional 17,000 applications this year. The issues are likely the result of the recent changes to the portal system. I think when they set the credit card update deadline for 2/25, they fully expected to hit cards the following day, just like in years past. But the issues weren't fixed by that date and since then more issues have come to light (such as those with card issues after 2/25). I would not be surprised if they debating internally as to whether they should extend the credit card update deadline and then hit cards after that new deadline.

I wonder how often it occurs myself. I have seen others post that had problems with their card or knew someone with problems. I personally quit using the credit card I put in with so that hopefully there's no risk of fraud or anything like that.
