Do you have your Utah Concealed Carry Permit?

[Sedanman]

Besides fitting the requirement for the permit, what is actually taught in the class?

The class I took, the instructor went over where you can and can't carry (they're required to cover Utah, obviously. He covered Indiana as well). Gun terminology, holsters, 4 rules and some escalation of force and things to think about before employing deadly force.

The intent of the class is to make you familiar with Utah's laws on carrying a handgun.

I'm headed to a Utah class tomorrow....tired of avoiding Ohio...lol...especially since I only live 2 minutes away from the border.

To bad it doesn't let you carry in Illinois!!!

It's all common sense BS...imho. I just went through the class a few weeks ago. Nothing really to it. The only purpose it serves is to jump through the required hoops.....that is all.

I took the Utah class last June taught by Brent from Big Daddy's. It was a fun class. I've only been to Ohio once since I got it but I was able to legally carry in Ohio and that's what really matters to me.

I really need to stop buying dumb crap and save to get my Utah. Especially when the misses love the Ikea in Ohio so much.

Nonresident permits don't allow Indiana residents to carry legally in Indiana. If you live here, you need the Indiana license. The non-resident Utah permit does allow you to carry in more states than the Indiana license alone. You can see who honors which other states licenses/permits here:

Florida is pretty good. It's expensive though, compared to Utah. One benefit is that Florida has more wide-ranging activities that qualify as training, where with Utah you have to take a specific class. I went with Utah because I have family and friends in Washington and Minnesota and Utah gets you both.

Mine is in-process. The class was useful and interesting anyway and I sent my materials in the next day. I am about 4 weeks into the cycle right now. The instructor said to expect about 60 days.

I went ahead and applied for both the FL and UT licenses. That is about as comprehensive option as an Indiana resident can currently obtain.

When did you send you app for Florida in VERT? I sent mine in last Monday. Just wondering what the time frame will be. I got a tracking # but it said to wait about 3weeks before you search.

It was last spring sometime. I remember it arriving comparatively fast. 6 weeks maybe? Not sure what it would be now with the hype. UT took about 8 - 10 weeks?

Other then the added cost I have only good things to say about FL CWL process. I e-mailed them last year about getting some applications to pass out during NRA classes and they sent me a case. Yes a case of them! The packets include detailed directions and the finger print cards. $117 for 7 years and a you get more states then UT. Big difference is that UT picks up Minnesota. FL gets you New Mexico, Nebraska and Kansas.
