Bullshit. I exhibit distaste for the American fetish for firearms, and
the effect it has on society. And I exhibit scorn for paranoia so
severe as to cause a person to _require_ a firearm to do ordinary
things like ride a quiet bike path, drive a car, fill a gas tank, etc.

And BTW, it's not just our super-timid tricyclist. One classmate of
mine in an adult education class brought his handgun to a class picnic
in the country. Nice guy, but that was crazy paranoia. Another guy,
less admirable in general, bragged to me about carrying his handgun
into a folk music concert we attended. Absolute stupidity, and crazy
paranoia.

That latter guy played guitar, but was so obese that he used a special
stand to hold his guitar out away from his belly. Maybe his physical
shortcomings triggered feelings of great vulnerability, as with Mr.
Tricycle? Nonetheless, his risk assessment was off the charts crazy -
as is Mr. Tricycle's.

Same argument.

And regarding risk assessment, I'm reasonable certain that this

Which doesn't bode well for people who carry for personal protection and
never take the time and diligence. If there was a law requiring range
time and accuracy to carry a gun, I'd be a lot more confident in the
general public carrying guns. Instead, cases like this are far more
prevalent:

not much. The gun fetishists (lobby) thinks any restrictions on gun

did nothing wrong.

The child found the gun underneath the seat underneath the seat

Again, no laws were broken, there is no Utah law against leaving

Nope, it was signed into law.

This is exactly why you have no credibility. It might have helped if you didn't pull a tommy and actually bothered to read your link.
You linked  house bill 1087 from 2023 -  a year before HB 1087 2024 was introduced - which addressed chld support payments.
 From your link:
HB 1087: Child Support
GENERAL BILL by Caruso ; (CO-INTRODUCERS) Basabe ; Benjamin
Child Support; Authorizes deferral of support payments for obligor's good faith job training efforts

However, I agree with Chief Parker that the law didn't go far enough.
It should be a felony for some moron to leave a gun laying around in
an unoccupied car.

Considering it's not a law at all, your opinion of it is pretty pointless, dumbass.

>
I should've also said that letting a gun slide around under the seat
of your vehicle is an incredibly stupid thing to do, and the glove box
is not a good place to leave it when unattended. The first place a car
burglar will look is under the seat and the second place is the glove
box, which is easily opened with a screwdriver or pocket knife.

I also believe that open carry is wrong headed. Too easy to grab if
out in the open.

If I go into a restroom or a restaurant when out riding, the gun does
not get left on the Catrike. It goes into my trunk bag along with my
phone and computer and goes with me.

Until that one time you forget.
Floriduh dumbass making the dumbshine state proud, yet again.
