Under current Utah law, people with a concealed carry permit are allowed to bring firearms onto school and daycare grounds as long as the weapon stays concealed. This bill clarifies that even permit holders may not openly display — or "open carry" — a weapon at a public or private K-12 school or daycare, with one narrow exception: a permit holder may draw and openly carry a weapon if they are lawfully responding to an active threat. People with concealed carry permits who bring firearms to these locations must keep them hidden at all times unless that active threat exception applies.
