C & R FFL

It's not that I tried (but succeded) in avoiding the CA requirements, I had no idea they existed. To be truthful, if I had known nothing would have changed. In my opinion, after living in Sacramento for over 22 years, that state sucks! I moved to Utah in 99, had been here less than 6 months and applied for and recieved my CCW permit. You know what my primary concern was, that I was from California. Utah has a 'must issue' policy on CCW's, if you are clean, you get it. Remember the police cheif of Isleton, I beleive, was issuing them to anyone that meet the requirements and passed the background check, well they fired his butt, but he did nothing wrong. CA does not want you to defend yourself as YOU are NOT qualified to determine if YOUR life is in danger! Anyone, in any state can apply for a Utah CCW, just take the course of instruction, pass the check and it's yours. Right now Alaska, Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas and Utah have reciprocity agreements. If you live in CA, I advise you to look to retire somewhere else, they have nothing to offer except more and more restrictions and taxes and levies and higher crime rates because the bad guy know you aren't armed. Forgive me, I am so glad to live in Utah.
