Statutator Fred Cox Confirms Impact of Last Year's Trojan Horse (HB 276)
(Update for 2/10/15): House statutator Fred Cox has just confirmed what UT Gun Rights warned in its recent update, and in alerts last year. Referencing HB 276: "Violence Against Open Carry Gun Owners", Cox wrote in his "2015 Voter Questionnaire":
"What did pass in 2014 was a law to require individuals that do 'Open Carry', to have the firearm in a holster or case." [bold italics added]
This is precisely the attack UT Gun Rights outlined. Unholstered open carry gun owners will now be targeted for violent harassment and arrest. Other gun owners will be at increased risk of abuse as well. See this full update at
