Jacee Cole, 20, said a stalking incident in a store as a teenager spurred her to get her concealed carry permit when she was 19 years old for self defense. Cole, shown at home in West Jordan, Utah, Friday, March 2, 2018, now carries a Kimber .9mm pistol in her purse or the waistband of her pants that she conceals by wearing a sweatshirt or a coat. "I don't trust people," said Cole, who said she respects law enforcement, but questions whether the police would be able to arrive at any given situation in time to thwart a possible incident or crime. "It makes me feel safe, knowing I can protect myself." (Leah Hogsten/The Salt Lake Tribune via AP) **FILE**
