Utah Concealed Carry Reciprocity Map

Utah is a shall-issue, permitless carry state that allows both residents and non-residents to conceal or open carry with or without a CCW license. The state does offer carry permits for reciprocity purposes. 

In Utah, constitutional carry became legal in 2021 allowing anyone over the age of 21 who is legally permitted to possess a firearm to conceal carry without needing to obtain a permit. Concealed carry is also legal for those at least 18 years old with a provisional concealed carry permit from Utah. 

To qualify for a Utah license to carry, you must be at least 21 years old (or 18 if seeking a provisional permit); complete a firearms training course; be qualified to purchase and possess a firearm; and meet all federal requirements. There are also several factors that may disqualify you from being issued a Utah concealed carry permit. 

Open carry is also legal in Utah without a permit for anyone over 21 and legally permitted to possess a firearm.
