Title: Re: Wyatt Earp surrenders! Post by: MFAWG on September 30, 2009, 08:47:55 PM Take stupid drunks + firearms = now we got a party. :o Actually, it's a 'Non Story' Story. Restaurants and bars will now be treated the same as ANY OTHER business establishment is for anybody with a carry permit. I have a carry permit, and the penalty for getting caught carrying and drinking is pretty much the same as fora DUI, with the added caveat that the state keeps the firearm. Pffft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_%28by_state%29#Utah). Quote As carrying the firearm with the chamber empty, but with a full magazine, meets this definition (the handler must chamber a round, and then pull the trigger), this is a common work around for Utah residents who do not wish to acquire a permit. Beautiful. Gun laws written by folks what know how a gun actually *goshdarn* works. I assume the cop is permitted to whomp you upside the head for carrying a firearm with a round chambered? Open hand of course. Title: Re: Wyatt Earp surrenders! Post by: hobbit on October 01, 2009, 01:29:57 AM I vividly recall stopping a friend's friend from re-entering a bar with a gun in his jacket. He just had an altercation with some people, walked outside to get the gun out of his car, and was coming back in when we stopped him. If we had a carry law at the time, he probably would have shot someone.... over a simple bar fight.
Rage doesn't have a safety. Just sayin. Title: Re: Wyatt Earp surrenders!

A CCW in The People's Republix of the PacNW??? :o Man, I bet you're on some lists. Pffft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_%28by_state%29#Utah).

Beautiful. Gun laws written by folks what know how a gun actually *goshdarn* works. I assume the cop is permitted to whomp you upside the head for carrying a firearm with a round chambered? Open hand of course. Our cops don't necessarily know our gun laws. There are some (not so) funny stories floating around about cops improperly reacting to someone open carrying. Best policy is to always tell LE your status, "I have a CCW and there is a .380 in glove box, round chambered, full mag, three boxes of ammo in the trunk." Unless, I guess, it's illegal for you to have the firearm in that condition. You can open or conceal carry with a round chambered if you have a permit. Anyone, well, given a few sensible caveats, can open carry with the two action provision without a permit. For an open carry state with the most liberal gun laws in the country it's amazing how you never see anyone open carrying. We take guns fairly seriously here.

I only ever earned two merit badges in my entire, and very brief, career with the BSA. One was for finger printing, I forget what the other was. True story. Title: Re: Wyatt Earp surrenders!
