Arizona Citizens Defense League - AzCDL - Official

The Arizona Citizens Defense League (AzCDL) is a non-profit 501(c)(4), all-volunteer, non-partisan grassroots organization dedicated to the principles contained in Article II, Section 2 of the Arizona Constitution that "All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed and are established to protect and maintain individual rights."  The rights of self-defense and bearing arms are the foundation for all other rights.  Our freedom of speech, our freedom from unreasonable searches, our rights against self-incrimination, our fundamental rights only exist because we stand firmly resolved to preserve them. AzCDL exists to strengthen that resolve. AzCDL’s success is not accidental.  AzCDL was founded by a group of local activists who recognized that a sustained, coordinated, statewide effort was critical to restoring and protecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
