mom and dad went to get their CWPs today, and the instructor told them that "OC is legal in the state of UT, but its FEDERALLY illegal..." so in that case... since its legal in the state of UT... would it also be legal to OC a firearm WITHIN 1000' of a school (since thats just a FEDERAL law ;))

I would have asked to sight a federal law that makes OC illegal.



Edit: I tried to post this earlier but there was a problem and when I reposted it I forgot to specify "federal law"sorry.

By the way you worded this post, I am assuming that you are aware that he is full of shit. These are the same people that say "Open carry is illegal in Utah" or "Concealed Firearm Permit REQUIRES you to conceal" LIES! :cuss: Read the laws. Know the laws. Respect the laws. As for OC near within 1000 feet of a school, is there actually a law that has the words "1000 feet" in it?

I get to answer my own question.

TITLE 18 PART I CHAPTER 44

§921. Definitions

(25) The term “school zone” means—

(A) in, or on the grounds of, a public, parochial or private school; or
(B) within a distance of 1,000 feet from the grounds of a public, parochial or private school.

Don't forget 922(q)(2)(B)(ii):
(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm—
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;

So as long as it's good by your state laws, within 1000' is exempted with your CHP (not necessarily on school grounds of course).

My instructor and my wife's instructor (separate instructors) were both great, and I know a few others who (I'm sure) would give correct information. But I was talking to another guy as we walked the fitness center track. He told me he taught CFP classes, but his knowledge of Utah laws had a lot of gaps!

I was carrying openly, as I usually do there, and He asked me if I had my CFP. I answered yes, and he told me I was breaking the law. He said that once a person has their concealed firearms permit, they were breaking the law if they carried openly. He told me I was in danger of being arrested.

I told him if that was what he was telling his students, they ought to demand their money back, and he should take a class from someone who knew the laws. There's always some clown who slips through the cracks, isn't there?

This is ONE of the many reasons I would like to become an Instructor for CFP's. I am trying to go thru a class with Clark Aposhian. There are so many "mislead" permit holders out there.

I know I don't EVERYTHING but I do know alot and If I don't know I research. I ask People that knows the Laws/Codes. I study the Laws to know when asked by People and to be prepared when approached by LEO's.

This is in response to a phone call from b1ack5mith. The CFP instructor told his parents that federal law requires handgun owners to be 21. This is the code that says otherwise.

I think the federal law (against openly carrying under age 21) only applies if you're wearing a"U.S. Border Patrol" hat. :lol:

Clark gave me his number once when I asked him if I could carry on the Utah State Capital property.

But, he specifically told me don't give it to, "Anybody with a US Border Patrol hat!!!"

P.S. I can carry on these type of things forever... Just ask my sister-in-law... as long as I'm laughing at my own teasing I can go on and on and on and on... :)

ok, and back to the school subject... does it say "must be atleast 1000' away from the school if you are in posession of a loaded firearm"? because if it does... LEGALLY were not breaking the law! (weapon is deemed loaded when an unexpended cartridge is in firing position ;))
