I wonder when these guys are going to realize gun ownership polls are often wildly inaccurate...
Despite firearm-friendly climate, more than half of Utahns don't own a gun
Utah is generally seen as a gun-friendly place.
State gun laws are permissive, more than 230,000 residents hold concealed-weapon permits, and there's a long tradition of vigorous political support for the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
That might lead to a perception that nearly every Utahn has a firearm at his or her side.
But it would be wrong.
A recent Salt Lake Tribune-Hinckley Institute of Politics poll shows that more than half Utah's registered voters — 52 percent — say they don't own a gun.
