Sounds like a few Utah instructors do not want competition from people out of state.

Yeah that’s what I saw — why is an out of state instructor any less qualified?

Turf war, where there should be none.

I don’t get how we ban people from crossing state lines for work

I have been highly critical of the NRA at times but I agree with them on this one.

First, let me state that the Salt Lake Trombone is a leftist rag run out of Denver.

Utah's permit is widely accepted, inexpensive, fairly straight forward to obtain, and hence very popular to the out of state crowd. It's wonderful that the NRA would support the continuation of this trend. On the economic side, Utah DPS/BCI is spending an inordinate amount of time and funds in the permit process, and in the current economic situation, this is indeed a concern to Utah residents.

I'm a member of Utah Shooting Sports Council, and all considered, I agree with Clark. Our local taxes and laws make this possible. We made it happen... as Utah citizens, we pay for the infrastructure to make these permits available, we vote for the laws that put sense above emotion, and if we're going to lose rights based on our position to deliver permits cheaply and conviently to out of staters, well... maybe the process should be changed to protect ourselves. It took a lot for Nevada to accept our permits, and I don't want that put in jeopardy.

I'm also a member of NRA, and can see both sides. Now then, consider the source of this article and their inflamitory leftist nature, and the situation becomes a tad less serious. However, comma, if another state disallows our permits over our process, I'll vote to tighten up the process.

I'm waiting on my tax return before signing up for the MN/UT carry course. With reciprocity, it's good in 22 States.

Looks like I'm playing "Beat the clock" again...

I hate this. Can we just go back to "keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"? It'd make things a lot easier.
