Under current Utah law, people with a concealed carry permit are allowed to bring firearms onto the grounds of K-12 schools and daycares as long as the weapon stays concealed. This bill would clarify that even permit holders may not openly display a firearm at a public or private elementary or secondary school or at a daycare, requiring the weapon to remain concealed at all times while on those premises. The one exception allows a permit holder to openly carry a firearm if they are lawfully responding to an active threat under existing self-defense laws. The bill also makes minor technical and conforming wording changes to related sections of the law.
