Where are these fortified Mormon cities? Perhaps if I knock they will let me and my family in and give us protection from the atheistic mobs that are now forming.
Salt Lake City? Are there other fortresses I'm missing or are they camouflaged so I can't see them?
I'm not sure what you're talking about. Several of my partners are Mormon, and I know they keep emergency supplies of food on hand (as should we all). And I think they are all gun owners or at least sympathetic.
But none of them live in a fortress, nor does any "Mormon city" I've ever seen look like a fortress. And I think there is a long ways to go before their good-natured tolerance is all used up.
Salt Lake City, by the way, is majority non-Mormon nowadays, with a really stupid and obnoxious liberal Dem for a mayor.

Who knew!!

I think that is a false perception. The cities around the Salt Lake region are built on high ground because the area immediately around the lake was/is marshy, swampy land. The is also a problem with the dams above the lake. A moderate earthquake above Provo could easily compromise the dams and inundate the homes built near the level of the lake shore.
LDS families who have followed church recommendations are well prepared for emergencies with sufficient food and supplies. That may give the appearance of being "fortified" for an assault. It's not. It's being prepared for unemployment or emergencies.
The calls for a boycott of Utah by the homosexual lobby means more room for others to patronize the resorts and ski slopes. There's always more demand than capacity.
The only city in this country that I've visited that might be described as a fortress is Yorktown, Va., which is surrounded by fortifications built by the Confederates. However, it doesn't seem to be a Mormon city. There are Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Roman Catholic, and non-denominational Protestant churches in town, but no Mormon houses of worship.
As I understand it from the Mormons I know, they are not as they were originally to be designed. There was to be a 25,000 person limit when a new city was to be sited. That kept everyone capable of providing their own food. That capability is vastly reduced now. They're still far better off than most urban populations.
