What is needed is a revision of our laws to make it clear that no one except law enforcement officers may openly carry firearms within an urban or suburban environment.

If this is the OP's opinion, I will return. Otherwise, not in. It's a quote from the article, and out of line with Bama's tone on these matters. |

Put your big boy pants on and assess threats based on someone's ACTIONS not the mere presence of an object.

The next 'loophole' we need to close is the 'walking across the street without permission' loophole, apparently. I feel sorry for this joker's clients if he's practiced law for almost forty years but is ignorant of that law, in the state where he resides, on a topic that he crusades about.
[Edit was to add a missing word] |

Mr. Gunn, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent article were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. |
|
What we need is a law that only allows police to do with firearms what law biding citizens are allowed to do with firearms. This includes possessing weapons with a "fun" switch or other "non-sporting" features.
No more exceptions Edit: make it a constitutional amendment. |
|
open carry does not endanger police officers any more than anyone else. the article is obviously biased

The 2nd Amendment affirms the right of the people to keep and keep arms.

I had a chat with Mr. Gunn back in 1994 or so. He's been at this quite a while and struggles to remain relevant in the gun control arena in Utah. He and maybe 3-4 others held a "press conference" on some stupid gun control idea at the state capitol building. About 200 others (including me) were there as the opposition.
He seems like a nice enough guy as an individual, but is just mentally defective enough to truly believe that his positions have merit. |

Ever notice that, when communists think there oughta be a law but there is none, they call it a "loophole" ?

Hey, Being from Utah we have always realized that Steve Gunn is a liberal cry baby, A nice personable guy, yes he is, but a on this subject he is a cry baby, alarmist, fear monger and suffers from "stinkin thinkin" in addition to being totally wrong. He is at odds with 90% of Utah's population. Don't pay any attention to him, because that's exactly what he wants. The only reason his editorial piece got published is that the Salt Lake Tribune is nothing but a liberal rag. A couple of years ago I sent him a copy of John Lott's "More Guns Less Crime". I doubt if he read it.

This says it all about the article:
"Steven H. Gunn has practiced law in Utah for 37 years. He is a member of the board of directors of Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah, a nonprofit gun control advocacy group." |
|
If he wishes to carry it openly on a public street, he can’t have a bullet in the chamber So stick with an open-bolt weapon and you are G2G |

Quoted:
Yes you can, and I think he just did. Whats your basis for thinking a person has to right to silence others just because they don't agree with each others views? What if someone tried to do that to you? |
|
It could be said that being police imperils the safety of police.
Believe it or not, there are more important things in a free republic than the safety of police. |
|
Loophole –– n. Any legal activity or item that a liberal wishes were illegal.

I'm completely against open carry.
I am, however, completely in favor of concealed carry. It's better to assume everybody is armed rather than knowing exactly who is and with what. |

Slight negative connotation with the use of gunman to describe a citizen who could be as tame as your granny that just wants to protect himself. |

It was the guns that I couldnt see that I was concerned about.
|
|
Slightly off-topic––-the article's author asserted that OC is only legal in UT if one is carrying with the chamber empty....for the UT folks: Is that true?
ETA: Disregard––looked it up. Seems odd, but no more so than CA I guess. |
|
A good number of Cops do not like anybody else to carry a gun is what I have found, open or concealed.

But the problem of open carry is not unique to colleges and universities. It presents considerable difficulties and danger to law enforcement officers. Last August a man dressed in full battle gear and holding an assault rifle was observed on Main Street near the Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City. He shot at and wounded a police officer who returned fire and killed the gunman. Had the shooter not opened fire or acted in an “angry or threatening manner,” legally he could not have been arrested or detained. Carrying an assault weapon on a public street is not a crime — not even a misdemeanor — in Utah. Seriously? That's the best argument he has? So if the idiot in Salt Lake City hadn't done anything illegal he couldn't have been arrested? Sounds like a sound legal reason to banning open carry. |

Open Carry no more "imperials" me than a law biding citizen CCWing. Matter of fact open carry I see it I know it's there good. Gunn (as ironic as that shit is) needs to STFU.

Translation:
"It scares me when I see citizens carrying guns. Sometimes I pee a little at the sight of a gun. If you rascist, selfish, freaks MUST carry your silly guns, I want you to cover it up. This will suffice until we can confiscate your precious weapons and deposit them into a blast furnace. Of course only a trained and specially permitted technician will be allowed to operate the blast furnace. Those are scary, too. Hopefully we can kill reeducate you rascist conservatives for the good of of the USSA once we take your guns." |

Stephen Gunn drinks herbal tea, cries when he feels sad, and still wets the bed.
