The same day the Supreme Court said the Second Amendment is an individual right, Utah’s governor said he’d like to see fewer individuals exercise that right.
Specifically, he said he wants to limit the access of out-of-staters to Utah’s pistol permit.
His legal rationale: It doesn’t “sit right" with him.
Sounds like he needs to be unseated.

When the Governor realizes the tax money that will be lost by people switching to FL permits instead, maybe he'll rethink his stupidity.
ReplyDeleteDoes the governor have his Free Speech Permit in order? If not, then he needs to shut his mouth.
ReplyDeleteRights and "rights permits" are INCOMPATIBLE.
Well, well. The case directly below relates to state and local governments not being bound by the Constitution. (Those are the ones the vcdl links go with.)
ReplyDeleteAnd here's another governor playing it that way.
I've seen pictures of Utah. Arches National Park. Monument Valley's there too, isn't it? There are some excellent travel videos. No need to go there and SPEND MONEY.
