Arizona governor vetoes 2 controversial gun bills

PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer for a third time in four years has vetoed legislation that would have allowed residents to carry guns into public buildings and events.

Brewer also vetoed a bill that would have made local officials personally liable for passing gun statutes that are more restrictive than the state's.

Gun advocates said they will try again next year under a new governor.

Brewer vetoed House Bill 2339, which would have allowed guns in public buildings and events that do not provide security guards and metal detectors at each entrance. It did not apply to K-12 schools, community colleges or universities.
