Armed and Ready? (Utah CCW statistics)

[Ceicei]

Two interesting articles from Deseret News today I'd like to share with you.

The first link is about CCW permit statistics in Utah. I liked the opening paragraph.

If you are ever in a room with 40 or so other Utahns — say at a theater, restaurant or back-to-school night — odds are that at least one person there has a concealed weapon permit and could be legally packing a loaded handgun.

The second link is about opinions of those who carry on college campuses.

A paragraph that basically says it all is from thIS link:

But in 2004, the Legislature passed a law expressly saying the university is covered by a state law that allows concealed weapons on state property. The university challenged the law, but the Utah Supreme Court upheld it last year.
