Free Utah Self-Defense Law Card

I am pleased to announce the release of a new self-defense law card.  Every Utah concealed carry holder should keep this card in their wallet with them at all times. This card folds in half to fit inside your wallet. On the outside, you will find what to say to the police after a self-defense situation and on the other, you will find what to say on a 911 call. On the inside of the card, you will find a short summary of Utah Self Defense Laws.  This card is free for Utah concealed carry holders.  Please limit yourself to the number of cards you will use yourself or give to others.  A donation for envelope and stamp are much appreciated.  Please fill out the form below with your Name, address and how many cards you want to receive for free. Alternatively, you can come by my office at 9468 South 560 West in Sandy, if you’d like to pick one up and see my law office/gun store.
