Found this article on line while researching gun control in the Old West. It was originally written by an LA Times writer, but picked up by the Seattle Times, Washington Times, as well as many blogs and other papers.
It is obviously a hit piece, rather than objective journalism. Of interest is that the author claims that you cannot carry a gun in to a doctors office by statute! I've been following this rag of an article, and it continues to mutate as it crosses the blogosphere. I've found one version that adds that the AZ laws are so lax that "anyone over 21 can buy a gun at any time, over the counter, except on Christmas day".
