In anticipation of a wave of gun-related legislation from the Legislature, Gov. Gary Herbert has issued his five guiding principles for gun bills.

On Thursday Herbert said lawmakers should be reasonable and practical in the policies they draw up when dealing with gun legislation. He then outlined his expectations for any legislation that will earn his signature.

"It is just time to count to 10 and be a little more thoughtful about this," Herbert said while addressing the media in a conference room located his office at the state capitol.

Herbert said each piece of gun legislation needs to:

• Respect the Second Amendment

• Create a rational solution

• Enforce existing laws

• Protect the vulnerable

• Address the growing culture of violence.
