Hello everyone, just wanted to say that so far this forum has more information than i can even think of trying to remember. and it seems like everyone here is very nice and helpful as well as quite intelligent when it comes to the questions being asked.

as for me, im 21 and i am considering getting my CFP pretty soon. for now, im reading up on the open carry laws as well as the self defense laws.

anyone have any suggestions for me?

Welcome to the forums.. post often. getting that CFP will significantly make it easier to OC, if OC is your ultimate intention. If not, hey - your good to go.

Suggestions?
Learn the laws pertinent to your hobby. Ask a bunch of Q's, lots of good information. Mich Vilos book is always a keeper..

BTW: What'cha Carry?

i want to be able to CC eventually. i just need to do the class and get my paperwork in. and i've been reading up on the laws, and man, i gotta say, the way the Utah code is written can be somewhat confusing, but im figuring it out. its also a little hard to navigate the utah code site if you dont know exactly where to look.

i looked on barnes and noble's website and i couldn't find that book. where can i get it?

i just boughta nice lil XD sub compact .40 in the Bi-tone. i also have a rossi .357 4'' revovler that i bought two days after i turned 21

Those are going to get the job done. Theres some XD fans here too, so you may have just made some friends. and as far as the big caliber, you just got ThoughtPolice's vote.. (God, i love givin' that guy a hard time...its like crack, really.)

I'd start there until you get Mitch's book. 76-10-500, 505, 502, & 523 (did i forget any??) are the good ones to know.

AND:
Individuals without a concealed weapons permit may not carry a firearm:
- Concealed
- Within a 1000 feet of a school zone
- On intrastate buses and trains
(UTA & TRAX)
Nobody (even people with a permit) may carry a firearm, openly or concealed:
- In any secure facility
(courthouse, prison, secure part of an
airport, etc...)
- On some Federal property
(post office, national parks, etc...)

Awesome, and thank you for the great info. i think i have read a couple of those, but i will make sure to memorize them

oh, and i bought the xd because it felt a little better in my hand then the glock. and i think my next purchase will be a P22 just because its so cheap to shoot and it will be great for my girlfriend to use also.

and where is a good place to get that book? maybe ill go look around today a lil bit.
