There's a gunfight shaping up in the Utah Legislature. Gun advocates who want Utah to continue to arm the nation versus government bureaucrats and gun-control advocates who see the dangers in Utah's permissive concealed-carry permitting system.
Utah permits are the Tootsie Pops of concealed-carry permits: easily obtained, inexpensive, long-lasting and unhealthy, for Utahns and the nation as a whole. More than a third of Utah's 100,000-plus permits are in the hands of non-residents, who bypass more-stringent requirements in their home states. That doesn't seem fair.
The opening shots were fired last week at a meeting of the Legislature's Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice interim committee.

Some pursued Utah permits before Colorado had a "Shall Issue" and reciprocity with other states was not available to Colorado Permit holders. Why have a Utah permit?
