Utah remains the only state to have*statute specifically naming public colleges and universities*as public entities that do not have the authority to ban concealed carry, and thus, all 10 public institutions in Utah allow concealed weapons on their property.

Utah Code

Congratulations!!! Didn't know that, thanks for letting us know.

Plus, you live in one beautiful state.

Brewster, are you a Utah native, or a more recent resident?

Lot's of things to like about Utah, in my opinion (hunting & shooting opportunities), but the thing about CCW a public colleges and universities is awesome. I've know that for a while, and I've also noticed you've never had one of those campus shootings there, either!!

My husband travels to Utah on business and has nothing but good things to say about it.
He was driving up in the mountains when he saw a moose behind a tree. He backed up to take a picture & the moose tucked his head behind the tree. The moose just stood there behind the tree & waited for my husband to drive away. My husband started to drive off slowly & the moose looked out again from behind the tree. My husband backed up again, the moose hid again. LOL I guess it was like an ostrich sticking his head in the sand & thought no one could see him. LOL All of the pictures were of the moose's behind.

I'm not a Utah native. My family has lived all over the west including So Cal. And that's right we've had no school shootings here and in fact it's rare we even have a shooting at all (we do get dive by's in west salt lake sometimes).

Great story Sightngrl. Utah has some beautiful outdoor scenery. I would almost argue that we may be the most gun friendly state in the nation.

Utah is a great state from a Great Lakes man

Wandered through and around Utah 50 years ago on a 500cc BMW motorcycle and loved the scenery.

Several years ago, with wife and friends, spent a week in Escalante and did day trips to the south and north. Every day a fantastic series of experiences including Bryce, Hell's Backbone, and after about a 1.5 hour hike, even swam into the niche under Calf Creek Falls.

One of the friends moved to Escalante last year from N. California.

You live in a wondrous state Brewster.

Utah is one of the best states out there. I want to move to Utah but my wife wants to stay around family here in Washington state.

Logan Canyon ... Logan Pass ... and Bear Lake. All good reasons to live in or visit Utah.

 

[Brewster]

I think y'all need to move here! We could start our own rf.net club and go shooting

I have always wanted to visit Utah and experience all it has to offer, but being a gun friendly state is even more of an incentive to go.

You forgot to mention fry sauce too.

I love Utah. If it wasn't for the snow, we would have stayed. We lived near Ogden for a while. Between Bear Lake and all the open shooting around Tooele, it was a great place to be. We liked it even better than Colorado.

Great state and good about the universities. In NJ even off duty police cannot carry on a college campus only on duty police.
