I have a CCL but think that this is a law that is not needed but used by politicians to keep track of law abiding citizens. Actually, any law abiding citizen should be able to carry a fire arm without anyone’s permission.

I got my ccp due to my papaw gave me a very old mint condition model 12 pump shotgun and told me to guard it with my life. I simply am not willing to lose my shot gun while going dove hunting because my shot vest may be laying on it or something. I would not have got the ccp if not for this purpose and would still continue to carry my guns anywhere in the USA that i want, when i want.They just want all of you to beleive that you no longer have a right to bear arms? You better protect your rights with your life because your life is next in line.

This liberal agenda of our government has been insistent upon not punishing criminals, and allowing them to victimize honest, hard-working, tax-paying citizens. If the government is going to turn our cities over to thugs, gangs, criminals, etc., I’m going to carry a weapon. I have a permit to carry, and have “jumped through all their hoops,” paid the administrative fees and such. If they take my right to carry away, I’ll just have to carry illegally. I’m not going to be a “sitting duck” for criminals to victimize.

The day that i got my CW permit and strapped on my .357 magnum, I found myself with a feeling of awe. I knew that I had the power of life and death strapped to my hip. At first, it was a frightening feeling but then I came down to earth. When I received my permit, I was not told to go to a training class and I was not told anything about the rules pertaining to concealed carry and the use of deadly force. So, I went to my public library, pre-internet days, and read all of the state laws regarding when and how to use deadly force, and when it is permissable and when it is not. You see, I took my responsibility very seriously. To date, I have never had to draw my weapon even one time. But, because I suffered a reaction to two antidepressant meds, this wss after my CCW ran out and I hadn’t renewed it, I tried to OD five times and was involuntarily put into a psych ward. After I was released, my doctor told me that what I had done was NOT my fault because it was the drugs effecting my mind. So, lately, because of the way the world is getting, I decided to apply for a new permit to carry and found out that I could not own a weapon or carry a weapon because i was involuntarily committed back in 1996. This law says that I can NEVER, FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, own or carry a firearm!!! Now I have to go to a court of appeals and try to ‘win back’ my Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

CCW save lives, stats are in.

Good people armed give the bad person pause–”is that mark armed or not?, that is the question.”

Letter to knife wielding would be thief,

Dear Thief,

Im sorry my 45 cal pointed at your chest made you wet your pants, scream like a child and run away. Im sorry, you didnt get to rob me like all the other people you have probably robbed (not really), and for the nasty fall you took running from me, hope you have Obama care.

Care must be taken in voting the bums out – we might get someone much worse…

The people who apply for the Utah CCW are finger printed and go through a criminal background check. They also take a class given by certified instructors. These people are not the ones we have to worry about.

45 caliber

it looks like you’ve hit the nail on the head. i most certainly agree the communist movement in this country has used music and sports to distract our young ones from filling that space between their ears.
at the same time they have gone all out to dis-arm this nation. in 1968 the john birch society promoted a movie called the “pied piper” they showed the movie at a local high school. the subject was how music is being used to tear down the morality of children and leading to drugs. they sure prophesied the future of our country correctly. between sports and music they have replaced the values of our society. i quit watching baseball and football when the media started idolizing players who showed their disdain for our country and looking like something out of a freak show.
we watch some high school sports and college baseball,basketball, but, not as much anymore. it seems the college level is more interested in affirmative action and a lot of students who carry good grades set on the bench. this is in a way what has happened to the country. we are having our rights taken away one at a time and now they have their sight on our guns, it may be time to put our sights on them. we have the communist party running our government.

Take over of the U.S.

Back in 1968 the Air Force Academy published the “3 Rules for Takeover of the U.S.” as put out by the American Communist Party. The Air Force had checked and were told by the Communist Party that these rules were still in force in 1968.

1) Destroy the ruggedness of the American people by concentrating their attention of spectator sports and sex. (What do you normally watch on TV?)

2) Gain control of the news media and use it to prevent the people from knowing what is going on in their legislative halls (state and country) and to tear down the image of any natural leader the people might want to follow. (When was the last time you knew more than one or two bills the legislature was working on? Did you know any details? And what about Palin?)

3) Disarm the population through gun control.

That’s it, Folks. Nice and simply. And it seems to me that someone is trying very hard on the first two and probably has already succeeded on No. 2. They are working hard on No. 3.

Incidently the American Communist Party shut its doors about 1984. The reason? Every one of their platform items had been adopted by BOTH the GOP and the Dems.

What? No “liberal” comments? Maybe they all dried up and blew away? I wish!

CC laws will insure that America always has a functioning 2nd Amendment. A public that is protected by concealed carry laws will always be safer than one that pays lip service to ‘safety’ but does nothing to guarantee that we have it.
CC laws make predators look over their shoulders, and think hesitate before they dare to exhibit their hardcore, progressive intentions.
Based on what passes for leadership in the last 100+ years, America will be safer if CC laws spread across the nation. Practical safety and instant ‘social justice’ are worth their weight in gold, people.
It’s time for America’s two-legged predators to know that they and their friends are now the prey.
Safety means nothing if we can only talk about it.
Either we have it, or we don’t.

America beware. This administration’s agenda is all about taking away rights. We must not let this happen. We must vote those out that think our rights are no longer viable. Educate those around you! Everyone should know the truth, and it is not what the main stream media tells you!

It never ceases to amaze me that CC critics lead with arguments that have been dis-proven time and time again. While it’s true one can juggle statistical analysis numbers, the facts of this issue remain consistent. Crime stats and information such as is found in writers like John Lott is treated as if it doesn’t exist yet the emotional suppositions put forth by the critics are treated as gospel.

Along these lines, I would submit the US government has been taken over by mega business concerns and no longer represents the people of the country. Terms such as “national interest” and “fight for our freedom” are not in the interest of the population of the US as a whole but are business terms designed for the protection of mega business profits throughout the world.

There are many guns in the hands of citizens of the US and a major part of the population realizes the need for personal and family protection. Goblins are everywhere. One cannot protect their family away from home without the means of protection immediately available.

You can bet the mega business types have a means of personal protection without a question. The wealthy elite of the nation make sure they don’t go without anything and care little of the rest of the population. Again, this elite group has become the us government [sic].

Remember the “quaint” document that states; “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” It’s in the preamble.

For those who may be predisposed to dismiss this as ranting, ask yourself why the US Coast Guard and police are being ordered by BP to keep US citizens off the southern beaches and prevented from taking photographs which could, by the way, be presented in court. Does it strike anyone at all that this puts the entire population of the US as subservient to a mega business? Remember, those orders were being followed.

Is it really any wonder why the rich and powerful have prevented CC in most states?

Can you say “Police State?” I knew that you could…

People who think those that carry a concealed weapon are dangerous are completely wrong.The only ones they pose a danger to are the criminal element. Why do you think Russia never fired a nuke at our country? Because they couldn’t! Hell no it was because we would fire back. The same thing goes for the criminals, gang bangers, murders, rapist. If they think you will shot their ass off if they act stupid they tend to get intelligent really quick. It’s our right yes RIGHT to Own And Bear Arms in our defense of our person and property. The founding fathers were very smart when they drafted the Constitution and Bill Of Rights.

The fact that the areas with guns has less crime has been known since about 1970. Readers Digest commissioned a study to prove that guns equal crime but the group studying it found it was the exact opposite.

Areas with least guns per population? Inner city areas, particularly government assisted housing.

The areas with the most crime? Inner city areas, particularly government assisted housing.

Area with the most guns per population? The Ozark Mountains in Arkansas – 2.5 guns per person.

Area with the least crime? The Ozark Mountains in Arkansas – where most people didn’t even have locks on their doors.

And of course the government and the anti-gun people ignored it.

If you were a criminal, would you want to face an armed citizen or an unarmed citizen? Common sense should tell you the answer.

We need to vote these “Marxists” out this Nov.. pardon the pun, we need to give it our “best shot”, it’ the only chance we have.

While listing a bunch of stories about CCW holders defending themselves is fine, if you want the best source of data read John Lott’s third edition of “More Guns, Less Crime”. It has become the standard for proving our point.

Bravo ! The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution must be upheld and remain to be interperted as the right of an individual to keep and bear arms. This is essential to our FREEDOM !

Of course conceal carry saves lives. Law abiding citizens are not looking for a gun fight. They want to live peacefully.

But gang bangers, rapist, and murders the common criminals that are found everywhere in our country. Have made it a requirement for good people who have common sense to arm themselves to defend what they own, and to defend their God give lives.

The gun banners, I call them traitors because that is what they are. Want you to rely on the police or law enforcement to prevent violent crime. Well that is pure insanity!

The US Supreme Court has ruled many times, that the police ARE NOT required to provide any citizen 24 hour protection.

Bowers v. Devito, 686 F.2d 616 (7th Cir. 1982) (There is no constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen. It is monstrous if the state fails to protect its residents against such predators but it does not violate the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, or, we suppose, any other provision of the Constitution. The Constitution is a charter of negative liberties; it tells the state to let the people alone; it does not require the federal government or the state to provide services, even so elementary a service as maintaining law and order.); (No duty to protect) = Rule 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss;Cf. Reciprocial obligations;

Warren v. District of Columbia (444 A.2d 1, 1981) ((O)fficial police personnel and the government employing them are not generally liable to victims of criminal acts for failure to provide adequate police protection … this uniformly accepted rule rests upon the fundamental principle that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular citizen … a publicly maintained police force constitutes a basic governmental service provided to benefit the community at large by promoting public peace, safety and good order.);

The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on
equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal
footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal
footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.

The recent 2009 FBI crime statistics proves without a doubt that more guns equals less crime. In 2009 record guns sales occurred in the U.S., yet crime fell. I wonder why? End of story.
