I've received word that Gov. Huntsman signed HB 357 into law today. This makes
it legal for adults, aged 18 and older, to have a loaded handgun in their car
WITHOUT needing a concealed weapons permit.
It also allows persons to have a concealed firearm (long or short) in their own
cars, in their own homes, and in businesses or other property under their
control without needing a concealed weapons permit.
Long guns may not be loaded in a vehicle (unless a person has a concealed
weapons permit, is my reading, consult a lawyer for sure).
This bill should go into effect 60 days after the session adjourned on March 12,
or May 10 or May 11 if my counting is not too far off.
Consult a lawyer before making any life altering decisions. This is not legal
advice, and other such disclaimers.
I note that SB 78, the bill to protect most employees from termination or other
adverse employment action for having a legal gun locked in their private car
parked in company parking lots has not been signed yet. If I'm not mistaken,
the Governor has 20 days (excluding Sundays) from March 12 to either sign the
bill into law, veto it, or have it become law without his signature. That
deadline is about Saturday April 4th.

Status does not yet show as being signed. Give them a day or two to update that.
