That is what he has planned.

Here is a way to get around the federal gun free school zones.
Montana Code Annotated
45-8-360. Establishment of individual licensure. In consideration that the
right to keep and bear arms is protected and reserved to the people in
Article II, section 12, of the Montana constitution, a person who has not
been convicted of a violent, felony crime and who is lawfully able to own or
to possess a firearm under the Montana constitution is considered to be
individually licensed and verified by the state of Montana within the
meaning of the provisions regarding individual licensure and verification in
the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act.
I would like to see on line 70 "21 years of age" taken out... but that's just wishfull thinkining. It will be interesting to see how that lawsuit in Texas plays out.
I am with cdrhoad on this one... no need even to put this. Under 18 can't legally possess as I understand it. 18 and over is a legal adult with voting rights.... they should have the right to carry AND CONCEAL IF DESIRED!
I'm still for the bill, just vocalizing some wishfull thinking. I would like to see my younger sibling carrying as soon as he is 18. So for his case we are going the route of getting a Maine permit. He has much more experience and knowledge of hand gun safety than most 21 year olds that I know who own and carry a gun.
Some good men who probably could get permits under Utah's may issue law worked hard to get us shall issue and so I was able to easily get a permit when I returned to Utah after college. Utah residents with permits have worked hard to make sure non-residents could get permits and that we recognized permits from across the nation.
Charles, while I wholeheartedly agree, I just want to point out that while many of us men worked long and hard I have to give credit to two women who were the die hard leaders, Dr. Sarah Thompson and Janalee Tobias. These two ladies spent countless hours on capitol hill and at political events across the state building support and lobbying to restore our rights here in Utah.
I have lost track of Dr. Thompson, but Janalee is still active in the RKBA cause as the president of Women Against Gun Control.

I can agree with you at the age of 18. Even though i was introduced to guns at a young age thanks to my uncle. You turn 18 and join the military. Your introduced to a gun and learn to use it, care for it and even shoot it. Even in some states and countires you are able to drink on the military base and even gamble at 18. Your old enough to die for your country, shoot someone in a war at 18, have the the death penalty given to you at 18. The list goes on.
I listened to the audio of the complete committee meeting last pm. As to the Representative (I think from Cache Valley) who was looking for something in this bill to "hang his hat on"--- he seemed to be ok with limiting lawful carriers to Utah Unloaded carry only.... I immediately thought about the FBI "Tueller drill"... And if a trained person OPEN carrying has about a 50% chance of drawing, acquiring the target, and firing before getting stuck with a knife. If a law abiding citizen who was open carrying unloaded (as is now the requirement without a permit) would even have a 25% chance if it only took another 1/2 second to load as suggested by Representative Wimmer. So, I am to understand that as a law abiding citizen facing an individual who is intent upon inflicting serious and potentially lethal bodily injuring upon me I must be FURTHER HANDICAPPED (as those without permits are now) by giving the bad guy better odds of completing his goal----- Yeah, just how does this support the Utah and US Constitutional "KEEP and BEAR arms shall not be INFRINGED" amendments!?
