Ok I'll show my stupidy, again, A state has reprocity with Utah CC. Do I need to do something special to CC carry in that state, say Colorado?

Thanks, smoke

Familiarize yourself with that state's laws and abide by them.

And be aware that in many states, municipalities can set their own laws regarding concealed carry. This is the case with Colorado where Denver has made open carry and open car carry illegal.

Check here - http://cbi.state.co.us/ccw/relatedstats.asp - for Colorado laws. Be aware that Colorado only honors Utah permits if you are a Utah resident.

Well thats easy, so they should just say that they honor Utah's permits. It only makes sense that you would follow any states slight differences.

That's a great question.
It's only a stupid question if you don't ask or ignore the good advice.

As has been said already, every state has its own laws pertaining to concealed or open carry. Those states that honor Utah CFPs can be found on this map from www.handgunlaw.us:



Study the gun laws from each state you intend to visit. As has been said, Denver was enabled by an activist judge to restrict open carry even though the Colorado legislature enacted state-wide preemption.

Since you're a newbie, here's a question for you: What is the difference between reciprocity and recognition? Some states honor Utah CFPs because of reciprocity. Other states honor Utah permits because of recognition. Do you know the difference?

Though other states may honor your Utah CFP, that doesn't necesarily mean that you have the same privileges there that you have in Utah. States differ in many aspects of the law. It is best to do your research beforehand on the laws of the state you will be carrying in.

This NRA site has summarys of all the state gun laws.

Utah allows carrying in schools and bars, but many other states may not.

You do not need to do anything special. Just have the permit on you.

Nobody answered the question. OK, I'll answer it myself.

Reciprocity: A formal agreement between two states that they will honor each other's concealed firearm permits.

Recognition: Even if there is no formal agreement between two states, it may be that one or the other or both states will honor the other state's concealed firearm permits. By statute, Utah recognizes all other states' concealed firearm permits.

You can see which states have reciprocity agreements with Utah vs. which states just honor Utah's permits at this BCI link.
