Utah Concealed Carry License

[Ping]

Just finished up a class to obtain a Utah Concealed Carry License. Their license offers more options to carry in other states than what my Indiana Concealed Carry License offers in reciprocity.

Team that up with a FL out of state CCW and you got a lot of coverage.

First:  I am picky about this one, but words are powerful!  Use the proper words or risk sending the wrong message!

Utah does not "license" CCW - "UTAH DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY Concealed Firearm Permit"

Minnesota does not license CCW - "STATE OF MINNESOTA PERMIT TO CARRY A PISTOL"

Rant off.

Now on to your question:

I have both Minnesota (I am a resident) and Utah.  I also teach both.  Multiple permits give me the opportunity to carry in more places.  I am looking at Florida soon, so I can carry their this fall.

Utah has a side benefit of giving me another option of photo id.  I have in the past run into security situations where I needed two photo id's and do not like carrying my passport.  My Minnesota Drivers License and my Utah Permit give me two government issued photo id's.

Thanks for the correction M58.

 I do not believe that I need a class to be able to exercise my God given Right.  While classes are good, and I support having them available, when they require you to take and pass a history class to be able to vote, I MAY get behind mandatory classes for carrying a weapon.

I don't believe it either, but until our Constitutional Rights are restored I will take the classes to avoid being like so many examples we read about or watch on YouTube on here.

If I have a FL resident CCW would I gain any additional states with a Utah or other state?

Click on your state (or the state you have a permit from ), chose resident or non-resident, and the map will show you who honors it.

Yes, there are some states covered by Utah's permit that FL does not cover and vice versa.
