I am a Mormon...married to Lisa. We have 5 awesome children. I am a gun rights advocate and believe the 'right to keep and bear arms' refers to an INDIVIDUAL right, as affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. I like to hunt big game, although I have only ever killed a single buck deer. I am an actor of sorts and have been in many local plays and musicals.

    Lack of Education

    I am irritated today.

    [begin rant]

    Do bad guys obey the law? No, that's why they're called 'bad guys'. If we pass a law that makes it illegal to bring a gun to church, is that going to stop a bad guy? Is he going to come to the church, intent on committing a crime, and suddenly stop in his tracks when he sees this?

    Nope. In fact, bad guys search for places where they're going to find the most victims. The most sheep. Like schools. And churches. And libraries. And universities. That sign might as well say something like this:

    Defense Free Crime Zone

    Am I a bad guy? The state of Utah and the Federal Government of the United States say "No". In fact, I passed a background check and came out squeaky clean. I am, by all definitions, a good guy.

    Yet according to Utah law, I cannot carry my legally obtained and licensed concealed firearm into my church building. A firearm that I have shot and practiced with for years. Again...am I bad guy? No...good guy. But what if a bad guy decides to come into my church with guns-a-blazing??? Guess we're all hosed, eh?

Which Intelligence?

http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofintelligencedoyouhavequiz/

My results: Your Dominant Intelligence is Interpersonal Intelligence

You shine in your ability to relate to and understand others. Good at seeing others' points of view, you get how people think and feel. You have an uncanny ability to sense true feelings, intentions, and motivations. A natural born leader, you are great at teaching and mediating conflict.

You would make a good counselor, salesperson, politician, or business person.
