Over on the Utah DWR forum there is a rumor spreading that Open Carry is illegal in Utah.Here is the link:

"Nope. No firearms in camp, or on person during the archery hunt unless you have a CFP. Atleast that's what I understood."
This first part the discussion on that forum is for a discussion during Hunting which has different rules. When I took my HunterEd Class at Lee Kays as far as I understood it you can carry a handgun, but IF you don't have a Permit it has to be "Utah" loaded.
When It comes to OCing in the State of Utah Please refer to
Utah Code Section 76-10-505

76-10-500. Uniform law.
(1) The individual right to keep and bear arms being a constitutionally protected right, the Legislature finds the need to provide uniform laws throughout the state. Except as specifically provided by state law, a citizen of the United States or a lawfully admitted alien shall not be:
(a) prohibited from owning, possessing, purchasing, selling, transferring, transporting, or keeping any firearm at his place of residence, property, business, or in any vehicle lawfully in his possession or lawfully under his control; or
(b) required to have a permit or license to purchase, own, possess, transport, or keep a firearm.
(2) This part is uniformly applicable throughout this state and in all its political subdivisions and municipalities. All authority to regulate firearms shall be reserved to the state except where the Legislature specifically delegates responsibility to local authorities or state entities. Unless specifically authorized by the Legislature by statute, a local authority or state entity may not enact or enforce any ordinance, regulation, or rule pertaining to firearms.
Help me convince them.... I think they believe since it is a "concealed" firearm permit, the word "concealed" requires the gun to remain hidden. Supposedly one of them has a "sitting judge" relative that has revoked permits previously for open carry.
