Brochure? Educate the sheeple! - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

So pretty much ever since I have been CC I have carried a little wallet card (when folded in half = size of a business card) with information including a few of Utah's gun laws, defense/use of force laws, and states where my utah permit is honored. Many times I have given these cards away to other CC friends or even just people who are curious about CC/OC.

I was wondering about putting a little tri-fold brochure together that I can give to people -- not standing on the corner handing them out, but having them for people who initiate conversations about the topic. I am going to be OCing a lot more starting this week (because I can/want to), so I am expecting these opportunities to come more often.

I don't want to come off as a crazy gun zealot, but I would like to provide some facts (and maybe stories) that these people haven't heard on the evening news...

I will still include relevant Utah laws and information about obtaining CCW, etc...

I would love some input on this idea! Is it a good/bad idea, what information should I include, etc...

In this day and age I would be kind of scared to hand out this sort of information. When the law changes and someone gets in trouble for your little paper...and you get drug into it.

Would a disclaimer avoid that?

BTW you guys have the same post count. Got my pick 3 numbers now. Im retarded.

I carry around a few all the time for WA gun laws. I hand out a lot when I am open carrying and people give me funny looks or ask me about it.

My wallet cards have really only been given to friends, I would be sure to include a disclaimer on the brochure, something like "Laws cited here were current as of [print date], it is your responsibility to know current laws," along with maybe the website that you can access the whole Utah Code on. I have a lawyer buddy, I could get his help on a disclaimer.
