[B]Utah DPS recommends repeal of Non-Resident Permit provisions: [/B]As the number of concealed weapons permits issued by Utah continues to climb, public safety officials told lawmakers Wednesday it might be time to stop accepting applications from out-of-state. By the end of the year, Utah is projected to have issued more than 40,000 concealed weapons permits - nearly a 150 percent increase over 2007 and more than a 250 percent boost from 2006. Slightly more than half of the permit applications received since the beginning of the budget year on July 1, 2007, have gone to Utahns. But since 1994, about two-thirds of the applications have come from out-of-state…But committee member Sen. Bill Hickman, R-St. George, was more interested in why the state was issuing concealed weapons permits to non-Utahns rather than simply relying on existing reciprocity agreements with other states… (Even as an Arizonan, my Utah CFP allows me to carry in a few more states than my Arizona CWP.) http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,700228064,00.html Professor Joseph Olson, J.D., LL.M. o- 651-523-2142 Hamline University School of Law (MS-D2037) f- 651-523-2236 St. Paul, MN 55113-1235 c- 612-865-7956 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
