H.B. 101 – Firearm Background Check Amendments (GREAT bill)

If you’ve ever dealt with NFA items (like suppressors), you know the process:
✔ Federal background check + ATF approval
❌ Then ANOTHER background check at pickup

This bill eliminates that redundant second check.
It doesn’t change federal law—but it does remove unnecessary delays and bureaucracy here in Utah. This is how it should have always been.

H.B. 84 – Dangerous Weapon Amendments (GOOD, with tradeoffs)

The good:
• Constitutional carry now clearly applies on college & university campuses
• If you’re 21+ and legally able to possess a firearm, you can carry concealed—no permit required

The tradeoff:
• Open carry is now prohibited on ALL school property (K–12 and higher ed)
• This applies even if you have a permit
• Only exception: active threat situations

So while concealed carry rights expanded, open carry took a step back in these specific locations.

Important clarification:
• You can still carry on school property—but it must be concealed

If signed by the Governor, both laws go into effect May 6, 2026.

Mindset & Responsibility

This is especially relevant for Utah CFP holders:
• Carrying a firearm is a serious responsibility, not a status symbol
• Avoid conflict whenever possible—de-escalation is your first tool
• Your goal is to protect life, not win arguments
• Stay aware of your surroundings (situational awareness matters more than speed)

I have been asked many times: why do I need an Utah Conceal Firearm Permit?

Even though Utah is a constitutional carry state, meaning most adults can legally carry a concealed firearm without a permit, there are still important benefits to having an Utah Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP).
1. Reciprocity:
A Utah CFP is recognized in 36 other states. Without it, you can only legally carry concealed in Utah. The permit allows you to travel and still be protected under other states’ laws.
2. Background & Training:
The permit process ensures holders have completed firearm safety training and passed a background check - giving added credibility and peace of mind for responsible gun owners.
3. School Zones & Other Restricted Areas:
Federal law allows permit holders to carry in school zones, which is not allowed under permitless carry. This is a big reason many Utahns still choose to get the CFP.
4. Purchasing Convenience:
With a valid Utah CFP, you don’t have to undergo a background check every time you buy a gun from a dealer - it speeds up the process.
5. Law Enforcement Interactions:
Having a CFP often helps when interacting with law enforcement - it signals that you’ve been vetted and trained, which can make those encounters smoother.
