UTAH CRACKS DOWN ON CONCEALED WEAPON PERMIT HOLDERS

Salt Lake Tribune // Scores of concealed weapon permit holders were able to carry their guns for months after they should have had their licenses suspended or revoked for crimes ranging from unspecified felonies to drunken driving.

The problem wasn't fixed until the second half of 2007 when the state Bureau of Criminal Identification received a budget hike and hired four additional investigators.

Those new staffers helped the agency to clear a huge backlog of shelved enforcement actions. The result was a dramatic spike in revocations and suspensions of concealed-carry permits. They jumped from 167 in 2006 to 568 in 2007.

ANYONE REMEMBER IN SILENCE?

MONKEY WRENCH GANG MOVIE IN-THE-WORKS

After 30 years of rumors, a film-adaption of Ed Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang may finally grace the silver screen.

Abbey, a life-long advocate for the preservation of Utah's wilderness by any means necessary, passed away in 1989 and since his death celebrities from Dennis Hopper to Sean Penn have revealed intentions to bring the tale of a motley crew of eco-terrorists to celluloid. But nothing ever came of the talk.

Director Catherine Hardwicke (Lords of Dogtown, Twilight) vowed recently to make this film a reality and the list of actors associated with the production now includes Jack Nicholson, John Goodman, Matthew McConaughey, Richard Dreyfuss and Elizabeth Shue.

A release has been slated for 2010 with production soon to be underway in Arizona and Utah.

If you give a fuck about Utah's backcountry and haven't read Abbey's works, get on it now! You will not be disappointed.
