Just signing up to ask a question. But my intro first. Yep I shoot, mostly BP, and I am not a CCW, but looking into it. My question comes from a Trib or Deseret News story about Open Carry. The question is this; is it legal in Utah for a CCW to open carry fully loaded? That is full mag and one in the tube or equivalent for a revolver. If you can help please provide me with the Utah Code.. Thanks much.... smoke

Welcome aboard! Yes it is legal to carry open and fully loaded if you have a CFP.
Here are the exemptions for CFP holders: http://utahshootingsports.com/utahlaws.htm#76-10-523
and 76-10-505 carrying a loaded weapon in a car or in public.
And remember, open carry is legal because it is not illegal. In other words, there is no law making it illegal.

This exempt CFP holders from 76-10-504, parts 1a and 1b (concealing a dangerous weapon)
and 76-10-505 carrying a loaded weapon in a car or in public.

Welcome, what do you shoot?
Welcome smoke. I'm a black powder guy myself, in fact my .50 flintlock bagged its second deer this year. 2 shots, 2 kills. Now just don't go an dirty your hands by touching one of those modern, in-line, sissy-fied so-called "muzzleloaders." :x Traditional or nothing!

Yes. Open carry is perfectly legal here and in most every state in the country.Shaolin said:

Anybody over 21 can openly carry a weapon in this state.
The difference is that a holder of a concealed forearm permit may carry with a round in the chamber.
One who does not have a concealed firearm permit may NOT carry a round in the chamber and the gun must take 2 actions to fire.

welcome to the group
Thanks for the welcome and info.. Today will be so much fun, when I can take a CAT 1 or special function officer (wants to know it all) and take his code book and point out his lack of knowlage. He will go nuts. Ok, I shoot a old kit .50 cap lock.. kilt a elk with it now I wear him.. Also .50 cap lock pistole a Ruger Old Army and have 2 other Hawken style rifles. As for modern stuff. I have a sweet old .257 Roberts, 2 .06's. and a lever action .308. some .22's both long and hand. i prefer my 16 ga. side by but also have a 20 ga pump and a 20 ga. side by. Also there is S&W .357 snub, Barretta 96 (for sale) but if I have some thing with me its a Springfield XD40.
Thanks again to all, see yuo in other message lists. smoke

Read the definition of loaded here:
U.C.A. 76-10-502. When weapon deemed loaded.

Anyone over 18 can openly carry a handgun. You have to be 21 to get a permit and to buy a handgun from a dealer, but only 18 to carry. (76-10-509.4 a minor under 18 may not have a handgun) So 18 and over can have a handgun and carry it openly (unloaded) if they buy it from a private dealer.tapehoser said:
