Concealed Carry Advocacy in Utah

From the Salt Lake Tribune:
A state legislator is setting up free concealed weapon classes for policy-makers and their families this summer, while at the same time formulating a proposal to make it easier for Utahns to secretly carry a firearm.

Clearfield Republican Rep. Curtis Oda says the sessions are aimed at educating lawmakers and debunking gun-control advocates' criticism of Utah's gun laws.
How do you like that buzzword "secretly"?
[Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah board member Maura] Carabello says the free classes don't pass the proverbial "smell test." Oda's classes, she says, are a subtle form of lobbying for looser laws--something Utah doesn't need.
God forbid legislators should become more open to law-abiding citizens being able to protect themselves.
