No guns allowed at Utah GOP convention because of Ron DeSantis' keynote appearance
Firearms will not be allowed at a speaking event by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks during the Utah Republican Party State Convention in Orem later this month. Utah GOP Chairman Carson Jorgensen acknowledged Monday that magnetometers would be in use at the Utah Valley University’s UCCU Center for the April 22 convention as part of enhanced security for DeSantis’ appearance.
“In the current political climate, we felt the need to be thorough in our security for this event,” Jorgensen said. The party chairman said the plan to use magnetometers at the convention was a mutual decision between the Utah GOP and DeSantis’ representatives. He pointed to the use of magnetometers at November’s U.S. Senate debate between Mike Lee and Evan McMullin, which also took place at UVU.
“We felt the best practice is to err on the side of caution,” Jorgensen added. This is not the first time guns have been prohibited at an event featuring DeSantis. Firearms were banned at several conservative events where DeSantis spoke last summer, Insider reported. According to The Washington Post, his team wanted weapons banned from his election-night celebration in Tampa last year but took steps to avoid political blowback from the move.
