OK guys, The 2009 legislative session starts next week, and already we have some bill to start fighting. Here is the first...
S.B. 96 introduced by Sen. Scott McCoy would limit Utah Concealed Firearm Permits to residents of Utah. As you are certainly aware, Utah's permit is the most widely accepted permit in the states. Although this change will not affect us as citizens of Utah, we have to keep in mind all of our brothers in arms that rely on Utah's permit to keep them legal in other states. Underlined is the main part of the text that Sen. McCoy wants to add to Utah law.
53-5-704. Division duties -- Permit to carry concealed firearm -- Certification for concealed firearms instructor --
Requirements for issuance -- Violation -- Denial, suspension, or revocation -- Appeal procedure.
(1) (a) The division or its designated agent shall issue a permit to carry a concealed firearm for lawful self defense to an applicant who is:
(i) at least 21 years of age; and
(ii) (A) a resident of the state;
(B) a member of the armed forces whose permanent duty station is located in Utah; or
(C) a dependent, living in Utah, of an individual referred to in Subsection (1)(a)(ii)(B).
(b) The division or its designated agent shall issue the permit within 60 days after
receiving an application, unless during the 60-day period the division finds proof that the
applicant is not of good character.
