Utah Legislature: Businesses urged to welcome guns

[oneshooter]

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah House passed a bill that would encourage businesses to allow concealed firearms onto their property.
HB380 would grant businesses immunity if a concealed firearm permit holder fires a gun.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Stephen Sandstrom, R-Orem, said the measure is designed to prevent mass shootings, such as the one at Trolley Square in 2007, by encouraging more "law-abiding" gun owners to carry guns into stores and other businesses.
Under the proposal, businesses would not be required to allow guns.
Opponents said the bill would encourage irresponsibility, but Sandstrom said the bill would put the responsibility where it should be — on the individual gun owner.

I see this as a plus for our side. Maybe other states can get a set and pass similar laws.

1. How many guns are enough???

[friendly_iconoclast]

6. That depends on how many you want and how much money you have

IOW, whatever works for the individual.

[proteus_lives]

19. What a vague, unanswerable question.

[katmondoo]

2. I just don't want to go shopping anymore

Let the gun people support the economy. I can buy whatever I want online.

8. You could run the DHS

It all sounds perfectly normal when you're typing it out doesn't it ?


If I have this right , you wont leave the house because of cowards with guns .

15. Those gun nuts keep you safe

Even if you are anti-gun. How many bad guys, in his/her right mind, would pull out a gun and attempt a robbery, etc., if he/she knew 40 people could/would draw down on him/her?

Answer: None. They'd prefer a bunch of unarmed people incapable of defending themselves.

20. Sorry you let fear run your life.

3. If gun owners are going to be encourage to prevent mass shootings...

by being part of the gun-toting militia, they should be well-regulated as well. Perhaps boot camp and frequent drills should be required.

[friendly_iconoclast]

7. Actually, they are being encouraged to go shopping

Missed that part, eh?

[shadowrider]

16. Last I heard, gun owners money is green too.

[Hoopla Phil]

10. Please do a little research as to what "well-regulated" means in the context of 2A.

Hint: It does not mean what you think it means.

[PavePusher]

18. If you're going to require it...

I require you pay me for my time.


$100/hour, plus ammo costs, travel expenses and weapons maintenance should cover it.

4. I can see it now..

"Bring yer gun and git 10% off everythin' in th' store!"

5. Y'all really do need to use reading comprehension

The law, as written, says that if the business owner does not place a "No Guns" on his property then if a firearm is used to harm another in the store, the store could not be held liable.

The other side of that is if the store owner DOES puts up a "No Guns" sign he can be held liable for any gun related injury on that property.


Reading Comprehension, It's what reading is all about.

9. sounds

good to me if I can't carry in a store and some nut does not care about my life or my females life and shoots the place up we can sue

[rfranklin]

11. But I can sue you if you shoot me while "defending" yourself?

After all, it wouldn't be the store owner that caused the injury.

[ManiacJoe]

12. In the USA you can sue for just about anything.

However, most states would add your injuries to the offenses of the criminals under felony murder laws.

It is defending, not "defending".

[rfranklin]

13. If you shoot me, an innocent bystander, you are "defending" yourself...

Sorry if I am "offending" yourself.

[ManiacJoe]

14. I just do not subscribe to your odd definition of "defend".

The standard definition works perfectly fine for me.

If the Bad Guys start a gun fight and if you are near by, then you run the risk of getting shot. My recommendation for those circumstances is to move away from the action and/or find cover.
