Should Governor Herbert’s veto of HB 76 be overridden? HB 76 would loosen restrictions on the use of concealed weapons. Should national background checks be expanded? How do we reduce gun violence? We’ll look for your response to these questions on Monday’s Access Utah. Our guests are Sen. Allen Christensen R-North Ogden, Senate sponsor of HB 76, Rep. Brian King D-Salt Lake City; Maryann Martindale, Executive Director of the Alliance for a Better Utah; and Clark Aposhian, Chairman of the Utah Shooting Sports Council.
