"The man shot Sannar in the foot then pulled him into the foyer, where he shot him in the face..."
This sort of tragedy always makes me think. Although I abide by the Church's (and any private property owner's decision) to request that law abiding citizens not bring guns, I really don't like it.

Related to LDS Church gun policy, I went to an LDS owned camp (Heber Valley Camp) over this last weekend and at the checkin gate, they handed me a paper showing all the rules. The camp host warned me about black bears being spotted in the area and then in the very next sentence asked me if I had any guns. In my mind, I thought "How sensible, they want to make sure I can protect myself". I told him, "Yes, I've got my .45 with me." At which point he informed me no guns were allowed and I was required to leave it in their vault.
I asked what other options I had (never hurts to ask), and surprisingly he said that I could keep it locked in my car if I had a CCW and was willing to come into his office and fill out some paperwork. They recorded the make/model/SN of my gun as well as the CCW permit number.
The park host later complained about where I had parked my car (*right* next to the cabin where I was sleeping; not in the designated parking area). However, in the end he agreed I could leave it there...
