That is correct. I'm not sure on any local governments forbidding open carry tho.
On your first two points you are correct To the third, no local laws can trump Utah State law's.Hi Folks,
I live in Colorado but frequently visit (play in my jeep) in Utah. I have a Colorado permit and a non-resident Utah permit.
I understand that a person without a permit can "open carry" in Utah if they carry such that firing is two actions away...... for example having a full mag in a pistol but NOT a round in the chamber.
I also understand that a person who can legally conceal carry in Utah can "open carry" with a round in the chamber. So tell me fellow gunnies am I correct?
Also do cities/towns/muncipalities in Utah have the right to forbide open carry?
Thanks.......:smile:
Thanks rhino...... I'm just waiting for a little snow to melt around Moab....On your first two points you are correct To the third, no local laws can trump Utah State law's.
So come on over, and crawl your heart out. :wave:
For a brief period of time (toward the end of Dubya's second term) you could ccw in a national park. Then when the Obama administration took over they took that right away. The currently plans are to allow (once again) ccw in February 2010. We shall see......:scruntiny:You CAN carry in a national park too with a permit too I beleive. So no worries about arches in Moab and others.
Edit: I just double checked handgunlaw.us and according to the website toucan carry into state parks and state and national forests but not a national park yet. I was talking to a coworker and he said he thinks that the law that will allow you to carry into a national park goes into effect in February.
And you should have made yourself clear on the law before posting incorrect information as well :twak:Starting February 22nd, 2010 (George Washington's Birthday) you can conceal carry in the National Parks if you have a CC Permit. I believe that it is governed by the state the National Park resides in, so that state needs to recognize your states permit. I believe it is restricted to concealed carry, I am not sure if you can open carry. I know the great state of Wyoming has a constitution that protects true open carry. I frequent Yellowstone each year, but I don't think I could open carry in the Park, just CC.
I plan on making myself clear on the law before I go to the park this june and september.
Moab...Jeep heavenI live in Colorado but frequently visit (play in my jeep) in Utah.
