Beginning on May 5th, a new Utah law, HB60 will take effect to make Utah the 17th Constitutional Carry State in the American union. This means you do not need a permit or license to carry a hand gun.

House Bill 60, sponsored by Representative Walt Brooks (R-75), allows a law-abiding adult to carry a concealed firearm in the State of Utah, without first needing to obtain government permission. This ensures that citizens have their right to self-defense without government red tape or delays.
