Note that the law requires that the gun be locked up. It doesn't say that the gun has to be hard to get at, or that the case has to be difficult to unlock. I think you can put your gun in one of those small safes and turn the key to lock it, but leave the key in the lock so that you can get the gun out quickly in case you need it.
Also, make sure that your gun is completely unloaded when going through a school zone. "Utah-unloaded" doesn't cut it. And remember that school zones stretch a fifth of a mile in every direction from the school. They're big.

The federal Gun Free School Zone Act requires that guns be unloaded and locked up unless you have a permit. An ammo can won't cut it. I have a couple of these and they're fairly cheap and work great.Would suck horribly.
Sweet, I'm gonna put an ammo can in the car so I can put my weapon in it so I don't get in trouble in a school zone.
