There's going to be an increase of activity here

I need to get my utahlegalcarry.com site up and running soon, but in the meantime I've decided to start posting here some of the content that I ultimately want to put there.  Eventually I want to build a fairly comprehensive FAQ list for people who want to understand legal carry of firearms and other dangerous weapons in Utah.  To begin with, I'm going to start posting essays on various topics here, with the intent that they'll eventually get incorporated into my FAQ list, and so that in the meantime I can easily refer people to them.

I'm going to shoot for adding one or two articles per day here, so expect to see some activity.
