How Reciprocity Works in Utah
The state of Utah will honor all other state permits.
There are 36 states that honor the standard Utah CCW permit.
However, 6 of these states will only honor a Utah residential permit.
And 19 states will not honor the Utah Provisional permit.
Standard & Provisional Permits
There are two types of permits in Utah, a Standard Permit and a Provisional Permit, the later being issued to persons aged between 18 - 21. Some states will not accept both these permits due to the low age requirements on the Provisional Permit. The standard permit is very popular for non-residents as it allows them to travel in 30 states with a handgun. For a full list of what permits a state will accept please look at the official reciprocity list.

Utah Permits For Non-Residents
For people living in restrictive states like California the Utah Non-Resident permit has become a popular choice. It cannot be used in California but if you travel interstate regularly then it will allow you to carry in currently thirty other states.
One of the conditions to obtain a ccw permit is that you attend a firearms training course with a Utah certified instructor. There is no need to travel to Utah as these courses are widely available in other states. There are currently 178 Utah certified instructors in California alone. A full list of Utah certified instructors is available on the state website.

Utah Open Carry
Open carry in Utah
With a ccw permit
With a Utah concealed carry permit you can openly carry a fully loaded firearm anywhere in Utah that is not listed as Off-Limits. When open carrying a firearm the places listed as Off-limits still apply.
Without a ccw permit
For those who do not have a permit you can still carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle if the vehicle is in your lawful possession or you have been given consent from a person who has lawful possession of the vehicle and you are at least 18 years old. Without a permit you can only carry a loaded firearm inside the vehicle.
Once outside the vehicle you must carry an unloaded firearm. Utah's definition of an unloaded firearm is that it must be two actions to firing;
Auto Loader - The magazine can be fully loaded but there can be no round in the guns chamber. To fire with two actions you would rack the slide and then squeeze the trigger.
Double Action Revolver - You can have a loaded chamber but the hammer must be down on the loaded chamber. And the next chamber that rotates up must be empty. This would require the trigger to be pressed two times for the gun to fire.
Single Action Pistols - the chamber must be empty with the hammer down. In this case you would first need to pull the hammer back and then squeeze the trigger.
Restricted Places
With no permit there are also more places that are Off-Limits for open carry. Schools are one example, with a permit you can open carry in schools but with no permit you cannot take a weapon into a school. There are also other places accessible with a permit but restricted to persons who do not have a permit.
Local authorities cannot regulate where open carry is allowed as the state preempts all firearm laws.

PRIVATE GUN SALES
Utah does not require background checks on private handgun or long gun sales. The buyer must be at least 18 years old.
Any person who transfers an automatic weapon, sawed-off rifle or sawed-off shotgun to a minor in violation of state or federal laws is guilty of a felony in the third degree.
There is full state preemption over Utah gun laws. Local authorities are permitted to regulate only the discharge of firearms.
76.10.500 - Preemption
Utah has a "Castle Doctrine" and Stand Your Ground" law. Under the law a person has no duty to retreat if they feel deadly force is justified to prevent a felony being committed. Such a situation would be if the person found a burglar in their residence, it would be legal to use deadly force against the burglar as burglary is defined as a forcible felony under Utah law.

Utah Gun Laws To Know
Vehicle Carry
YES - Without a permit
If a person is 18 or older and can legally possess a firearm then vehicle carry is legal if the vehicle is in the person's lawful possession, or the person is carrying the loaded firearm in a vehicle with the consent of the person lawfully in possession of the vehicle.
If you do not have a permit then you must carry an unloaded firearm outside any vehicle.
The Law 76.10.505
YES/NO - Without a permit
Without a permit, you can only open carry a handgun if it is unloaded (no bullet in the chamber, but can have a full magazine) and at least two actions from being fired. As an example; 1. Rack the slide to chamber, 2. Then pull the trigger
If you have a permit then open carry with a loaded firearm is legal.
Must Notify Officer
NO - Must Inform Officer
Utah gun laws do not require you to inform law enforcement you are carrying a firearm. There is also no requirement to carry a permit. GunsToCarry recommends that you should always carry your permit/license when there is a firearm on your person and for safety reasons identify yourself as a permit holder.
Constitutional Carry
Utah does not have Constitutional Carry.
Carry in State Parks Allowed
It is legal to carry in the following areas; State Parks: YES State/National Forests: YES State Wildlife Management Areas: YES Road Side Rest Areas: YES
Carry in Restuarant's
"Yes" or "No" states if you can carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol.
Nothing in Utah law prevents a person from carrying a concealed handgun in a bar or restaurant where alcohol is being served. You should be aware though that it is a crime to be in possession of a firearm if you are intoxicated. Intoxication levels are based on those used for driving a vehicle.
No Gun Signs Enforced
"No Weapons" signs under Utah gun laws have no force of law unless they are posted in areas that are mentioned by the law as being off limits. The law specifically mentions "places of worship" and "private residences". If any of these places has posted a "No Weapons" sign then it is illegal to enter. A place of business is not mentioned in the law so it would be legal to enter a posted business although we do not recommend that. GunsToCarry recommends that you do not enter a property displaying a "No Weapons" sign whether the law is for or against signage. If asked to leave a property and you refuse to do so then you are breaking the law and put yourself at risk of being charged. The Law 76.10.530

Can you carry a concealed firearm in your car without a permit? I know you can have a loaded gun in your car but can it be under the seat or in the glovebox? Thanks.

With a CWP you can open carry a fully loaded weapon. With a CWP can the weapon be fully loaded when concealed? Or does it have to be 2 or more actions away from being fired?
Jonny West
If you have a concealed weapons permit in Utah you can legally carry a loaded firearm (even with one in the chamber and the safety off) concealed or not concealed.
Tanner Callahan
Yes, it can be fully loaded when concealed with a concealed carry permit. Honestly, that's the only way I recommend carrying.
Can you purchase a handgun if 20 years old?
September 4, 2020 Reply
Evan D Buckley
No. You must be 21.
You cannot legally purchase a handgun at 20. However, you can legally own a handgun and conceal carry that handgun (if you have a permit). Basically, this means that someone 21 or older has to buy the handgun for you.

I'm looking for a list of venues which have received permission to ban concealed carry. Venues like concert halls, festivals and the like. Is there a list? No weapons are allowed in the Gay Pride festival area. Is this legal?
In Utah, you are able to conceal carry anywhere that isn't a secure state facility. Concert halls and festivals Will have their own rules that prohibit guns, but that isn't backed up by law. For example, if there was a concert and they said they didn't allow guns you could still legally carry a gun. But, if they saw your gun and asked you to leave you would need to leave or face criminal trespass charges.

I just moved from California to Utah, and am in need of a full-size pistol. Is a Utah ID/driver's license necessary to purchase one?

yes, as long as your address is up to date all you need is your ID and they will do a background check. Also moved to Utah from California

If I'm only 19 is it illegal for me to purchase a complete action assembly for a bolt action rifle? I want to build a custom rifle but I'm not sure if I'm old enough to buy an action separate from a complete rifle. I have to be 21 in order to buy an ar15 lower receiver. But is it a different story for a bolt action receiver? Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Why dont you shut your mouth foo
It is the same all lower receiver you have to be 21
I plan on relocating to Utah and want to bring my long guns and handguns with me as secured luggage instead of mailing to an FFL dealer due to its cheaper. i have copies of the atf 4473 forms for all the guns showing that i am cleared and approved likewise local laws also mandated all were required to be registered to me as proof of my ownership.
What requirements do i need to fulfill if any to keep,use,carry these heirlooms,upon arrival ? Any information that would help a fellow 2nd amendment follower on this journey? Thanks in advance!
As far as I know Utah doesn't require any type of registration or permits for semiautomatic /bolt action/single load, long guns or handguns. I think I heard about a new law on the books or maybe just up for vote in the state senate that makes you responsible for securing your firearms where children or restricted people can't access them.
I forgot to mention in utah your car is considered the same as your home when it comes to firearms anything you can legally posses in your home can be carried in your vehicle.

It's been 12 years since I was convicted of felony. How do I get my firearm rights back? It was a non-violent felony.

You should vote for a candidate that is in favor of felons regaining firearm rights and hope they are able to both win an election and are able to change the existing laws. Otherwise you many not legally carry or possess a firearm.

So I'm 23, my mom lives in oregon and wants to gift me a gun for birthday/Christmas. I live in utah so how would I go about this?

Went through a similar situation myself – firearm in Missouri that my sister wanted to gift to me in Utah. Your mom will have to ship to an FFL in Utah – you'll pick it up from the FFL. The receiving FFL usually charges a fee (mine was $25).

My daughter had a protective order when she got divorce 5 years ago. The order has sense been dropped. Can she now possess a firearm? She was attacked last month and I would like her to be able to defend herself, if this was to happen again.
Assuming daughter is in Utah… your best bet is for daughter to get her Concealed Firearm Permit. Requires a 4 hour class (which typically costs around $40), filling out the required paperwork (they'll help her through it in the class), and a $57 application fee. The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification promises 60 day turnaround, but it's typically a bit quicker.

I am heading to Utah from CA. I have a valid CA CCW permit. I understand that Utah honors my CA permit to conceal carry, does this mean I am allowed to open carry "loaded" (one in the chamber)?
The state of Utah will honor all other state permits. With a Utah concealed carry permit you can openly carry a fully loaded firearm anywhere in Utah that is not listed as Off-Limits. When open carrying a firearm the places listed as Off-limits still apply.

I have had a NY CCW permit for the past 30 years. However, even though NY only issues one type of CCW permit the county where you reside can put restrictions on your permit. My current CCW permit has a Target restriction which means I can carry it concealed and loaded back and forth to the range and other shooting events. When applying for a UTAH non-resident CCW permit does the NY Target restriction transfer over to the UTAH permit. My gut feel is no because it doesn't make sense but I thought I'd ask anyway.
No. Utah has no stupid restrictions like that on the permit.

I was told by someone that had their non-resident Utah LTCF, that the FBI conducts a background check on individuals possessing the non-resident LTCF on a regular basis. I would assume that due to the amount of permits from non-residents is absolutely impossible to for any bureau to check them all . My question is, how often is a persons background checked when holding a non-resident Utah LTCF??
BCI conducts a background check on all nonresident permits every 90 days. Background checks on resident permits are conducted every night. All checks are through 9 systems.
Does a simple DUI keep you from getting alic.
for 4 years after fines and any other requirement issue by the court probation, classes and so on.

No where can I find the information I'm seeking – I just moved to Utah from Texas. I have a CHL from Texas. Now that I have established permanent residency in Utah, how long can I use my Texas license? Should I apply for a Utah permit? If so, must I go through the process as a new applicant?
I did a quick search for the info you require but came up with nothing. Suggest you go to our contacts section and call the phone number listed there.
Just call Department of Public Safety
Bureau of Criminal Identification. The number is right above this and I'm sure they'll know the answer.

A Texas CHL is good in Utah until it expires. I carry a Texas CHL while living in Utah and have even renewed. You just can't use a Texas CHL to waive the $7.50 Utah background check fee when purchasing a new firearm.

MV British Motorist was a 6,891 ton tanker, built by Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson, Newcastle upon Tyne in 1924 for the British Tanker Company.

While under charter to the merchant navy, she was in port in Darwin, Australia when on 19 February 1942, she was hit by two bombs during the Japanese air raid on Darwin and was sunk, resting in  of water. She had been carrying oil, aviation fuel and petrol and was refuelling  when the raid commenced.

Two of her crew were killed out of 61 in the initial attack: the master Gilbert C. Bates and 2nd Radio Operator James H. Webster.

In 1959–1960, she was salvaged by Fujita Salvage Company, with the fore and aft sections of the hull welded together while the engine room was left, as it was too heavy to refloat. The welded fore and aft was towed back to Japan and broken up.

What remains of British Motorist lies in Darwin Harbour at position .

About The Voice of Knowledge
In this audio version of the fourth book in the popular series, don Miguel Ruiz reminds readers of a profound yet simple truth: The only way to end emotional suffering and restore joy in living is to stop believing in lies - mainly about ourselves. Ruiz refers to the forbidden tree of knowledge, likening the abandonment of the true self to the fall from heaven. This fall, he says, occurred because of the loss of "the impeccability of the word," that simple yet potent prescription for countering the judgmental inner "Voice of Knowledge." Adhering to "the word" - saying only what one means, refusing to speak against one's self - allows anyone to quiet those inner tyrannical thoughts so that we can become aware of our Voice of Integrity. Knowledge then becomes an ally, and life becomes an expression of the authentic self.
About Don Miguel Ruiz
(From Wikipedia) Don Miguel Ángel Ruiz (born 1952) is a Mexican author, nagual, shaman, and teacher.
He went to medical school and was a surgeon until a near-death experience impelled him to seek answers in ancestral traditions of the Toltec in which his mother was a curandera (healer), and his grandfather a nagual (shaman) who, after death, continued to teach Ruiz in his dreams.
His most famous and influential work, The Four Agreements, was published in 1997 and has sold around 4 million copies. It advocates personal freedom from agreements and beliefs that we have made with ourselves and others that are creating limitation and unhappiness in our lives. Ultimately, it is about finding one's own integrity, self-love, and peace within this reality. The Four Agreements are:
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally.
3. Don't Make Assumptions.
4. Always Do Your Best.
Ruiz also wrote a workbook as a companion to The Four Agreements. He then wrote several other books, including The Voice of Knowledge, Prayers, and The Mastery of Love. In Beyond Fear, by Mary Carroll Nelson, he discusses some of his beliefs through a series of interviews, including his belief in the legend of Atlantis; his belief that the sun entered its sixth age on January 11, 1992, which should lead to a new age for humanity; and his belief in the spiritual power of the pyramid of the sun at Teotihuacan. He can speak English. He often lectures and leads retreats in the United States. Many of his students are American. In 2002 he suffered a massive heart attack, but has since recovered. He has handed the Eagle-Knight lineage over to his son Don José Luis.

Headless horse spotted on double-decker bus in north London
Met Police praise horse for helping PC who went to assist man taken ill.
January 4, 2017 16:48 GMT
The horse named Invictor seen entering the bus Simon Crowcroft
Londoners were left confused at the sight of a horse appearing to attempt to board a double-decker bus.
A photo, which was widely shared via social media, shows the horse popping his head through a bus door in Islington in the north of the capital.
Met Police were quick of the mark to explain that the horse, named Invictor, was with PC Dan Smith when emergency services were called to reports of a man who had collapsed on the bus.
The police praised the horse for being a "team player" after stepping in to help PC Smith.
The London Ambulance Service confirmed a man was treated at the scene after being taken ill and taken to hospital.

Questions? See your Association Dean in Monroe Hall.
Below you will find information and links to policies, forms, resources and key College of A&S pages (in alphabetical order), all part of the accumulated insights and experiences by the deans and advisors who spend their time working with University of Virginia College of Arts & Sciences undergraduate students.
Make frequent and liberal use of it all but never lose sight of the simple observation that your success lies not in what your classmates are doing, nor in their backgrounds, but rather in the degree to which you are prepared to think clearly about your education and your readiness to act in your own best interests.
With nearly 11,700 students enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences, we must, of necessity, have this rather detailed and formal set of academic regulations. But situations inevitably arise in which we will consider exceptions to certain rules.
If you need to request an exception to a rule due to mitigating circumstances, you should consult your Association Dean as soon as possible. He or she will advise you how to petition formally for an exception.
Adverse decisions by the College of Arts & Sciences deans may be appealed to the Committee on Faculty Rules – an independent committee of faculty members who are not Association Deans. Bear in mind that you always have the right to petition about academic matters throughout your career here. More information may be found on the Appeals & Grievances page.

Race and Policing". Since 1979, wages have grown more slowly than productivitya measure of the potential for wage growthfor everyone except the top 5 percent of workers, while wage growth for the top 1 percent has significantly exceeded the rate of productivity growth (Bivens and Mishel 2015).

The summary point from Figure F is that in 1980 the mens new-entrant wage gap was largest among those with only a high school diploma, but that groups wage gap did not grow much further over the next 36 years. By a margin of at least 20 percentage points, blacks are also more likely than whites to say racial discrimination (70.

3 Naturalization Naturalization explains racial inequality as a cause of natural occurrences. Figure C shows adjusted hourly wage gaps for white and black women and black men relative to white men. "Only 5 of African American Households Have More than 350,000 in Net Worth". And these differences remain even when controlling for levels of education. Unionization has historically provided a wage advantage to black workers, since union members receive higher wages than otherwise similar non-union workers and union membership rates are highest among black workers. While in 2005 median Asian household wealth was greater than White households at 168,103, by 2009 that changed when their net worth fell 54 to 78,066, partially due to the arrival of new Asian immigrants since 2004; not including newly arrived immigrants, Asian net wealth. Between 20, black-white wage gaps quietly trended upward, but, after 2007, the patterns are much less discernable such that a consistent explanation emerges.
