Okay, so today for Memorial Day we went to the Utah Hogle Zoo (see my post in The Zoo for that information) and then went to see if we could see Indiana Jones IV with the couple we were with. Checked three different movie theaters and they were all sold out. Anyways, we decided that since we were by Provo Towne Center my buddy and I would goto Sportman's Warehouse and the girls were going to Deseret Book. My buddy wants to open-carry (yes, thx, your brother) and we decided to look for a holster for him. Well, didn't find a holster but we were talking to an employee named Matt in the Gun Department at SW. We got on the subject of open-carry in the state of Utah and he told my buddy the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what we've talked about here and what is the law is, that you have to be 21 and no younger to even have a handgun with you in OC long as it was unloaded like my XD was (I was open-carrying). I disagreed with him and told him and told him at 17 you can OC with parental permission. He continued to disagree and basically told me I was wrong. So instead of pulling out ScottyT's pamphlet I decided not to pursue because he was starting to act like a jerk. But I had given my buddy the ScottyT pamphlet and he had read it on the way to the zoo and understands that the guy was pretty wrong. So yeah, a gun seller telling the complete opposite of the law... go figure...
But just down from Sportman's Warehouse there was Mickey Mouse and I got a picture with him!
