i am so so so embarassed for our state{the one where you see a pickup truck with a mongrel dog bouncing around in the back and a rifle hanging in the back window and the driver with a beer in one hand and a 36 pcak of BUD in the back, wearing a woven cowboy hat with the dog tearing up the countryside><<><><>i live in ephraim utah, right in the middle of the state and have often longed to living in liverpool
Crazy people will do crazy things in spite of any law passed and always have. Sane people could have an Atomic Bomb in the basement and it would stay there - just like ours have stayed in silos for over 60 years. No law will eliminate craziness - ever. It is tough to sort out all of this stuff with passing laws. Oh well.
FWIW, a 1911 .45 would be my carry gun of choice, but my handbags aren't usually large enough and fully loaded it's so-very-heavy. They are fun to shoot and their weight absorbs a lot of the recoil. Also, my carry shoulder holster is for a small .38 more suited to proper concealment on my short person in shoulder holster, but I may consider an upgrade in future.
Incidentally, I hosted a party last weekend where my guests included law enforcement, former- and career-military, as well as a lot of folk who-- like myself-- enjoy shooting as a hobby. My circle of friends are among the most erudite, deep-thinkers I've ever met. To a man(and woman), every person checked the chamber of a gun they were handed twice, even just having seen another person check the chamber of the same gun. Safety is a habit, and I believe an armed society is a polite society.
Here's to Utah for not buckling under to the pants-crapping hysterics of a crowd who react only with emotion rather than engaging the intellect. Huzzah, Utah!
If I didn't already love Utah then this would be the deciding factor.

One of my readers comes from there. He is pro-guns.

Well, why not? California wants to make Zinfandel the state grape!
