With some commentary
A rather even-handed treatment by the media. (Unless the skeptical wonder if the pro-carry guy's technical problems were not accidental...)
I'm not up on the specifics of Utah concealed carry.
Is Utah's program unfunded by general tax dollars?
Is Utah's CCW permit near the tougher end of the range as far as qualifying and earning it goes?

I don't know who funds the Utah CCW program,it is administered by the Utah Department of Public safety.I simply qualified and obtained a Nevada CCW and sent the required documents to Utah and Florida and was able to obtain a Nevada,Utah,and Florida CCW.All from one CCW class and following three separate state procedures for paperwork filing.Without setting foot in Utah or Florida to do so.Your state CCW may/may not fall under the same qualifications.
I don't know if Mr. Lott would agree that CCW by the citizenry has a neutral impact on crime statistics in Utah as stated in the video,but he also did a piece on Utah CCW here: http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/search/label/numberpermits

I just applied for my Utah non-res permit. It's inexpensive, easy to get, and Utah most certainly does not pay for background checks with tax money. Part of the $62.50 fee goes towards the cost of the background check.
