First, the McDonald decision came down from the Supreme Court. That was a good thing.
Justice Thomas wrote an opinion that concurred with the judgment of the Court, but which gave a very compelling argument for using the “Privileges or Immunities” clause over the Due Process clause. That was even better. His understanding is most impressive. There is a link to the decision on the main iCarryUtah.com page. I encourage all to read it.
Then I was interviewed by the Deseret News about my take on this. It really does not mean much for Utah at this point – we already have a state preemption clause prohibiting local governments from establishing gun laws, and we have no state bans. But it makes a big difference for those not living in free states.
They even sent a photographer out to take some photos of me shooting with a co-worker. Take a good look at my target – all of the shots are in the black, but a few are a little low. During a blood test for lead levels the other day, the “nurse” (butcher) went clear through the vein. I have two large bruises on my left arm, and it hurts like a son of a gun, but I still made good hits on the target with every shot – including the head shots.

Personally, I felt it was a great day.
