To say I am disturbed by the antigun actions of the Diocese of Utah [TLC, June 13] would be an understatement.

The church has no business getting involved in issues of this sort. I suspect there are many Utah Episcopalians who are horrified and embarrassed by Bishop Irish's actions, but they are only a little worse than those of the last General Convention and our own diocesan council last year.

I am not an expert on Utah firearms laws, but a quick check of my references seems to indicate they are quite reasonable certainly compared to some eastern states.

If someone were to put one of those signs in front of my church, I would never again set foot inside.
