PHOENIX -- Dozens of owners have requested “No Firearms Allowed” signs for their establishments, the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control said.

So far, the department has printed 1,500. It costs bars owners 42 cents for one sign.

“The requests, I'm going to say, started coming in right after the bill was passed,” said Communications and Special Projects Director Lee Hill.

So far, Hill said owners have ordered about 200 signs. She expects more requests before the “Guns in Bars“ law takes effect Sept 29.

“We’ve had requests from little tiny mom and pop bars out in the middle of nowhere to large conglomerates, chains with multiple liquor licenses,” Hill said.

George & Dragon English Restaurant & Pub owner David Wimberley has already posted signs banning guns in his bar.

"Am I supposed to pat everybody down before I give them a drink? It's ridiculous,” he said.

The British native believes allow weapons into his pub on Central Avenue in Phoenix would endanger his customers and his staff.

“The two things you can't mix is alcohol and firearms and they allow them now. It's ludicrous,” he said, "We can deal with not getting tipped enough but we don't want to get shot because we had bad service.”

After years of debate, Arizona lawmakers passed the controversial “Guns in Bars” bill during this year’s legislative session.

The law allows people who have concealed weapons permits to carry a gun into a business that serves alcohol.
