Thank you for the response. As a follow-up question, what are the laws in Utah for use of a weapon to defend others? I've always been curious about how most states handle that situation. For instance, if you were at a public park with family and someone threatens them with a knife, how could you react with a firearm? I realize that there are unlimited what-ifs, just curious about scenarios like this.

Two questions here. First, what would you say are the most common mistakes that new carriers make? Second, in your opinion, at what point in a confrontation is it "okay" to draw your weapon?
