My Utah CFP  expires on January 1, 2013 and I received my renewal notice from the Utah BCI last week. I decided to give their new Utah online renewal a try and I am extremely impressed. The process took about 15 minutes. The part that I felt could have been improved is they asked for all [...]

Yes–that means that YOU CAN CARRY! I came across this article and it got me thinking about how some people don’t carry a concealed firearm because they can’t comfortably do so.  When I first started carrying a firearm it wasn’t super comfortable–but, like most people who carry a firearm everyday I went through different holsters and different [...]

There’s been quite a bit of talk about how more people are buying guns over the last few years. Seems like every year sales are up over the previous year now. And that’s not just the men.  A Gallup poll from late last year showed that 23% of women own a gun. And it’s not [...]

A couple of months ago I decided I wanted to get an Arizona permit mainly because New Mexico and (more importantly for me) Nevada had recently withdrawn reciprocity support from Utah.

The essay is excellent and I apologize for the incorrect attribution. I have linked to the original article below. This was posted on our [...]

MSNBC wrote about the history of concealed carry today–one of the big points of the article was the debate between pro-gun and anti-gun folks regarding crime statistics in relation to concealed carry permits.  Bottom line–there is no credible source that says more concealed carry increases violent crime-none (unless you count the factless opinions of the [...]

A recent experience at a Utah school–Utah Valley University–where a student, Nick Moyes,  was stopped for carrying a firearm has been getting some recent media exposure.  In Utah the issue wasn’t the fact that he had a firearm with him on campus but the fact that he was openly carrying that firearm. Nick was aware [...]
