Me too. Am I to assume that a resident of Utah is violating the law if they have a loaded pistol in the nightstand? Freakin' unreal. Where the hell did the gun rights go? How the hell did it become illeagal to have a loaded gun in your own home?
The article is not correct, according to my source, "Utah Gun Law II" by Mitch Vilos, a Utah gun law expert. He cites U.C.A. 76-10-500(1) as specifically allowing a loaded gun to be kept in the home or temporary residence, or camp. You might want to check the Utah Lagislature web site for the text of the law.
