I've had 3 or 4 deals with new people in the last 4 months, all were decent guys. Unfortunately there seems to be no shortage of a$$ clowns this year which is causing some stink to hit all noobs.
I lived in West Jordan with family there, Herriman and Orem. Used to go shooting on the east side of Utah Lake in an old quarry there. Also used to go out shooting among the sage out past Fairfield.
Welcome! You are forgetting about the good old days of "KSL" before they buckled to weeping liberal pressures and blocked firearms! I used to live in West Jordan. I recommend you find a good local membership range and sign up. There are some that are reasonably priced, less than $200/year...
Free advice, don't throw shapes or let the fellas slag ya too much. Welcome to citizenship and more importantly, welcome to the ODT. It IS fine to act the maggot around here though!
