Hey Guys,
I've got a quickie. Until the Utah HTF Shoot, I had no idea that Open carry was legal in Utah. I've got my CFP, and would love to OC. However, I just can't do it without reading the laws on the issue. Can someone direct me to or quote the law, as well as the requirements for CFP OC? Thanks guys! Wicked |

I open carry about 50% of the time and have not been harassed but there are quite a few that broke the ice before me.
We open carried at the state capitol when they had the "Take Back Utah" rally a few weeks ago. We got a few looks from the police but there were no issues. Quite a few people came up to my wife and I to tell us how they liked the fact that we were carrying and whether or not we had permits to do so. In Utah, you do not need to have a permit to open carry but there are a few limitations that go away when you do have a permit. |

This post is a great place to get a pamphlet for a summary of legal requirements. Basically you can OC unloaded anywhere it is legal to posess a gun. OC loaded requires a CFP. I like to OC when I vote!!  |

Wicked yuppers your gtg with open carry, and even better with a cfp Check out utahconcealedcarry.com Tons of good info about CC and Open carry. 
I perfer CC, and at the shoot they said something about empty mag while OC  ... so I kept my shirt covering mine.. 
I'm sure SGT.Jensen will stop in to give lots of info soon.

The empty magwell thing is generally considered one of the two mechanical functions needed to bring the gun into play if you lack a carry permit but still want to oc. So that would mean you would have to insert the mag, and then chamber a round. I've never heard that before... that would make THREE actions. insert mag. rack slide. pull trigger. Two actions would be: Loaded Magazine in magwell. Chamber Empty Rack Slide (action #1) Pull Trigger (action #2) Semper Fidelis |

Utah definition of unloaded is clear chamber and loaded mag for auto pistol, for revolver you need to have the chamber that lines up with the bore empty, and the next one in line empty.
With no CC permit you can open carry with an empty chamber and a loaded mag. |

I will however, add a link to the L.A. Times article that my wife and I were featrured in about open carry.

Revolver: Nothing under hammer. Next tube is empty. Unless of course you have your CCW, where you can legally OC locked and loaded.
