Sounds like basically the Utah legislature has deferred to the judiciary on this one so as long as you're carrying what you can convince a jury is a tool and not a weapon then youre okay. Also sounds like it will never be an issue as long as youre not stabbing people. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I didn't go in to much detail earlier on TX law but since youre interested, heres a passage from our penal code which describes our law, just to give you something to compare to. Trust me I have been truely putting this law to the test repeatedly since I was a young boy so I'm pretty confident in what it means.<img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
