Disarming the people is the first step to Communism.
We tried your way of only letting criminals psychos and tyrants have guns. It didn't work out well. Grow up and accept adult responsibilites, like YOU choosing if and when your kids learn about firearms.
Where do you get off thinking that Law Enforcement is only there to protect themselves from the public? It is a proven fact that the MAJORITY of Law Enforcement officers (and I am talking the patrol officers, not the guys with the scrambled eggs on their hats that brown nose politicians)back citizen concealed carry. And I am one of them.
"In America we have freedom"
(by permit only)
I wish in my state (NC) they would look for the truth, we still have the draconian "Jim Crowe" laws on the books and a blind sheriffs dept. to boot.
No, it's not necessary to carry 24/7 but, if the bad guys have to wonder who is and who isn't they're less likely to shoot first and more likely to go somewhere else.
Common sense and the 2nd. make us a free people and should protect us but the government loves to make laws because that's all they know how to do... lets face it, mostly everyone in govt./politics are lawyers.
G'luck UTAH I hope this bill passes for you!
people don't want to shear the power as in right to carry or self protection, They are hard enough on hunters but really don't want us to have what they have in any way and all that is to me is an Equal opportunity to make our own decisions in self protection, I live in a state where we have a person who became a senator even though he killed someone and got away with it & you know who that is. To everyone here please vote with your minds not with your heart or else we will lose everything. It's good people like you that can make a difference .
Logically, the lawyers argue that a crime that was prevented, never occurred, so the criminal did not commit a crime. So, brandishing that prevents a crime is a service to the community and is good for the children.
