What is hard for me to understand, is why various Police agencies and municipalities are against this? Utah's constitution clearly states in Article 1, Section 6:
"The individual right of the people to keep and bear arms for security and defense of self, family, others, property, or the state, as well as for other lawful purposes shall not be infringed; but nothing herein shall prevent the Legislature from defining the lawful use of arms."Shall NOT be infringed!
There is nothing in HB49 that gives further "rights" or "limitations". It merely states that by carrying a gun without any "additional threatening behavior" a person is NOT guilty of disorderly conduct.
What do you thing about HB49?

I think it's a shame that it didn't become law, it was a great bill as originally introduced, and i couldn't agree with you more! At least we'll probably get a Constitutional Carry bill passed next year though!
