    I'm really worried that the upcoming elections will result in our guns being taken!!!

    Without mentioning names of candidates, so that this post is not a political party one, I'm really worried that after this election we'll no longer be able to carry concealed, and no more assault appearance semi-auto rifles being available for sale! Although states have their rights, can't the...

    Bringing Non-Firearm Weapons into a Privately Owned Place That Says "No Weapons"?

    My question involves law for the state of Utah and is about non-firearm weapons. The other day I went to the Energy Solutions Arena. It used to be called the Delta Center and its main purpose is where the Utah Jazz in the NBA play. I went there to go to a career fair. Hidden on me, I was...

    When you sleep at night with a gun, do you leave your bedroom door unlocked in case..

    medical personal have to help you? I've thought about this lately. I personally sleep with my sidearm chambered right next to me and lock the bedroom door, so that it will give me more warning in advance if someone were to try to come in. This lady the other day says that she locks the door...

    What type of non-lethal force can you use in defense of property?

    I know in the state I live in, the state statute says that you can't use deadly force to protect property, but you can use non-deadly force if you reasonably believe that it's necessary to protect property. I'm curious because this one guy asked me if I thought my neighbor would mind if he...

    Another reason why I agree with self-defense and self-reliance

    You sometimes hear that prisoners complain that prison isn't good enough for them. This one guy who's in a county jail awaiting trial for "murder" is now suing the government because the jail he's at feeds them an average of 3,000 calories/day, which he claims is "starving" them, and gives them...

    Someone told me to forget about guns and situational awareness because...

    I can say that some conversations you have with people are stupid. The other day I was talking with someone and they said to forget about firearms for self-defense and situational awareness throughout your day because you can die from anything at anytime. He said that you can die from a shark...

    U. gun policy: Student whose roommate has gun permit may ask for a reassignment

    I found this article from usacarry.com quite entertaining. As you know, the Utah government made it law that public schools cannot legally keep those with concealed permits from carrying guns onto school grounds, even college dorms. This is the University of Utah trying to fight back; it was...

    Question about being an innocent victim when using self-defense as a defense?

    I was looking at a question on Yahoo Answers. A girl and her boyfriend were at a bar. The bouncer asks them to leave, so they start leaving. The girlfriend tells the bouncer that he's pathetic and so the bouncer grabs the girl by the arm and pours her own drink over her head. She then spits...

    For those who say not to have less-lethal options

    Here's an interesting article I read from Defend University. I don't necessarily agree with all of it, but it does make some good points about bringing a gun to a fist fight and having less-lethal options available. Here is a response to someone's question saying that they disagree with the...

    What are the standards for safe storage of firearm laws?

    I live in Utah, and I talked with a police officer who said there are no laws saying that you'll be held liable for not storing your firearms in a certain way. There are laws saying you can't leave handguns with juveniles, if you don't have a permit you need to have it unloaded while in your...

    Do you give your firearms names?

    I've heard that some people name their firearms just like you name a pet, while others think that's like naming their fridge. So I was just curious. This poll is anonymous, so you can vote how you like, and leave a comment if you want to. I know this may seem silly to some. I was just...

    What are the advantages/disadvantages of various types of non-safe type firearm locks

    I usually keep my firearms chambered most of the time inside my off-campus student housing apartment, but they're either on me or hidden in my room somewhere where hopefully my roommates will not find (my current room mates don't know I have firearms, only the dart-firing air taser which is not...

    Traveling Interstate with firearms, including magazines over 10 rounds

    Okay, we've all heard that you can travel from one state a firearm's legal to another state that it's legal and travel through a state in the middle that it's illegal, but how does that federal law work? I've heard from some places that you can only use this if you only stop at a hotel or...

    If a guy in plain clothes with a badge refuses to let you call 911 to verify he's LEO

    Earlier I had a thread asking about this real life serial killer who was a police impersonator and what one would do in that situation. It seemed like parts of the story distracted from what I was really trying to find out what to do in a situation I'm worried about, so I decided to start from...

    What would you do in this situation: Police officer acts weird?

    This is a real story that I found and I was wondering what everyone would do in this situation? You are at a mall and this man who seems to be a security guard walks up to you and says that he saw someone trying to break into your car in the parking lot. He asks you to go along with him...

    Self-defense against strangulation

    I saw some statistics that strangulation is one of the more common ways that people are murdered in the U.S., although behind guns and knives, I believe? I was wondering what are some good strategies and tactics to use if someone's strangling you, both for hands and if they're using objects or...

    Question about Weapons and Post Offices

    There was another thread on the legality of carrying a firearm into a post office. Now here's a different question. Does anyone know if it would be legal to leave it in your vehicle in the parking lot while you go inside, or would that be illegal since you're still technically on post office...

    "Another School Shooting" on youtube

    This guy on youtube is an interesting personality (just listen to all his other videos other than his proposal for guns and schools). He made a home video on the recent Illinois school shooting. It's interesting all the various views on the shootings across youtube...

    Question: What if a police officer doesn't allow you the right to remain silent?

    I was just thinking about that one video where that police officer was yelling at that skateboarder kid and was shouting, "SPEAK UP!" So I was wondering, what if you're involved in a self-defense situation with a firearm and you say, "I'd love to answer your questions officer, after I have the...
