Utah gun-permit bill moving along

It looks like Utah’s SB36 is on its way to the governor

The Legislature gave final approval Monday to a bill that would require out-of-state gun owners who seek a Utah concealed-weapon permit to first obtain a permit from their home states, if available.

The Senate voted 25-0 to accept earlier House amendments to SB36 and sent it to Gov. Gary Herbert. The House changes make it clear that out-of-state residents could apply immediately for a Utah permit if their home state does not recognize Utah’s.

As I mentioned before, I like this because it’s Utah fixing Utah’s problems, so hopefully that means Texas HB 356 can be withdrawn. I am going to drop a line to Rep. Burnam accordingly.
