To be clear, the bill will NOT alter Utah's CCW permit nor permit process. It will not alter who can legally buy, own or possess a firearm. It will simply eliminate criminal penalties for carrying (loaded and/or concealed) without having a permit.
Excerpt from the articles:
Rep. Carl Wimmer, R-Herriman, is having a bill drafted that would allow gun owners to carry a concealed, loaded gun almost anywhere in the state — essentially doing away with Utah’s long-standing concealed weapons permit process.
“It allows law-abiding citizens of Utah to carry a firearm for their own personal self-protection with or without a concealed-weapons permit,” Wimmer said Wednesday.
Three states currently have a “constitutional carry” law: Vermont, Alaska and Arizona, which passed the measure last year.
