City of Flagstaff AZ Blocks Local Firearms Dealer from Advertising
Posted on September 12, 2023 by F Riehl, Editor in Chief

Timberline Firearms and Training in Flagstaff has bought advertising at the Flagstaff Airport for years. Visitors and locals alike were made aware of the store and the indoor shooting range facility when they were in the baggage claim area.

This year is different, however.

Recently, the city denied the ad placement on the grounds that it “depicts violence.” It actually shows happy customers holding firearms and an instructor working with a student at their indoor range.

Arizona Citizens Defense League (AzCDL) member and Timberline owner Rob Wilson attempted to appeal the decision, but it turns out the city doesn’t even have an appeal procedure! Worse yet, the city is now proposing a new advertising policy that prohibits

    “Advertising that promotes, solicits, depicts, or markets the sale, use, rental, distribution, or availability of firearms, ammunition, or related goods or services.”

Wilson is not taking this lying down. He will be attending the council meeting to express his views on the subject. ...

The Second Amendment Foundation just won a lawsuit in California about gun advertising, I wonder if it will have an affect in Arizona
