I didn't believe it until I read it on the Internet ( :shocker: ) but as it just so happens, it's true.

Some other interesting tidbits from the article:
"The total of 101,640 permits issued in the recently completed fiscal year is more than any year from 2004-2012. But it is fewer than in 2013, when nearly 134,000 permits were given out."
That's a lot of permits!
At these prices, is it any wonder so many people from other states which accept Utah's CC permit opt to simply get the Utah permit instead of the one in their own state? No, you do not have to have a CC permit issued to you from your home state in order to get the Utah CC permit. Unlike many other states, Utah simply does it right, charging only for the background check, administration and processing, and the physical card itself. "Just because they happen to live across the border, doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to defend themselves as well." - Rep. Curtis "Curt" Oda, a Republican lawmaker from Clearfield and a concealed-carry permit instructor.
Now THAT, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the American way.

Applications cost $41 for Utah residents and $51 for non-residents. The permits last five years and cost $15 to renew.
