    Thanks you for the link.I didn't doubt your word I just wanted to read the article myself.With all the bad happening in our country I bet more and more are carrying weapons illegally and ordering them online or thru the black market.This holiday season more are buying guns then ever before This year set a record for the most background checks.

    In Utah you can have assault rifles in line at mcdonalds it just legally has to be two actions away.

    So strap it around your shoulder and you are good to go.

    I like Utah.

    People have a good time out there with their stinky salt towns automatic weapons and 50 wives.

    I see people open carry around here all the time. As a matter of fact, I had to ask my farm manager to put his up for a little while last week when we had some Canadian customers come visit. Didn't want them to freak out about some of our more colorful Idaho habits.......

    The reaction of some (city) people to a citizen carrying a pistol does amuse me to no end. If they carry a badge and a gun, it's OK, but a citizen without a badge and a gun, and people have a whole litter of kittens.

    You can carry it on you unloaded in a case, that qualifies as transporting in il. Don't have to be a resent to transport

    I might be wrong, but I am not getting anyone in trouble. If anyone is stupid enough to take a forum post as legal advice that's not my fault. To correct myself it is possible to have a ccw valid in most states, ok.

    It's more like more people are going to carry legally then illegally, the bad actor will always carry regardless of gun laws, more good people are buying guns and getting ccw permits and that,s a good thing. The more armed this nation is the better. Off topic, do you realize that every home in Switzerland has a fully automatic machine gun and a case of ammo unless something has changed, and look at there crime rate
