I just got home from a trip to Harbor Freight in Orem. No one said anything or seemed to notice I was OCing until I got to the checkout stand.
The young lady (19) at the checkout noticed and asked me if I had a permit. I explained, much to her surprise and delight, that no permit is required to Open Carry in Utah as long as it is unloaded and explained what unloaded meant in Utah.
She told me that she was glad to learn that as her father had given her a handgun and pepper spray for her birthday and she wanted to carry but wasn't old enough to get a concealed permit.
I gave her a copy of the Utah Gun Law pamphlet and she thanked me. As I was leaving, I heard her ask the woman in line behind me if she knew that it didn't require a permit to openly carry a gun in Utah to which the woman answered "yes".
