That's not entirely correct. You have to be legally able (under both state and federal law) to own a firearm in order to carry one, open or concealed. A permit is required to carry into a restaurant or bar that serves alcohol. "No gun" signs have the force of law, statewide. Always get trained and learn the law before you carry a gun.

Utah has strict gun laws, especially near urban areas.
It is, however, straightforward to get a Utah Concealed Firearms Permit without being a resident of Utah.

Quote:
New Mexico allows open carry but only honors permits from some other states.

TX has complex laws.


Both states are gun-friendly and honor many other states' permits.
