Democratic Governor OKs eased self-defense

The Arizona Daily Star reports:

Siding with public sentiment over prosecutors, Gov. Janet Napolitano signed legislation Monday to make it easier for those who kill others to argue self-defense.
The signing came despite a plea from the association representing Arizona's prosecutors, who urged her to reject the measure because it would put new requirements on them in order to convict those who say they had no choice but to shoot another person.

It appears that Democrats outside the Northeast have different views on gun control.
