The enactment of this bill would foster an environment hostile to federal gun control.<\/p>\n On Dec. 22, Rep. Walt Brooks (R-George) filed House Bill 60 (HB60), which would allow anyone who is legally allowed to own a gun could carry it without a state-issued license. Currently, to obtain a concealed carry permit, Utah gun owners must be 21 years old, have no felony or drug\/alcohol convictions, and cannot have been declared mentally incompetent by a state or federal court. Utah residents would still be able to obtain a concealed carry permit that could be used to carry concealed in states with CCW reciprocity with Utah.<\/p>\n On Feb. 5, the Senate passed HB 50 by a 22-6 vote with a few minor amendments. The House previously passed HB60 by a 54-19 vote.<\/p>\n Utah currently allows open carry without a permit.<\/p>\n \u201cThe perception is that this bill is huge,\u201d Brooks said, \u201cbut the reality is it\u2019s very, very focused on, \u2018Can I take my legally open carried (gun) and cover it with my jacket?\u2019\u201d………..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now, it’s on to the Utah Goobernor so he can sign it into law.
