SALT LAKE CITY -- "A Utah lawmaker wants to do away with the requirement to have a permit to legally carry a concealed weapon. While the legislation to change the law is yet to be written, it's already the center of a controversy. "

Criminals, dont take safety courses, they dont go to ranges and practice shooting, but yet they dont have to many accidental shooting in public. I've only heard of criminal shootings that were premeditated. So why do they think that the average law abiding citizen would be more dangerous without a permit than with. New Mexico, and Nevada stopped excepting the Utah permit because they dont take a safety course. I wonder how their statistics on gun safety is compared to states like Alaska, Arizona, and Virginia who do not require any permit to carry open or concealed.
In my opinion, I am more afraid of the weapon I can not see, I dont fear any open carry weapons, and dont understand why others do. If someone reaches for their open carry weapon, you know it. You dont know squat when they reach for a concealed, you wont know till you see it. By then they already are a step ahead of you.
