Just wondering . . .

Can I Carry a Firearm at UVU? Your Guide to Utah Valley University’s Firearm Policy

Yes, with certain limitations, you can carry a firearm at Utah Valley University (UVU) if you are legally permitted to do so under Utah state law. Utah is an open carry state, and UVU, as a public institution, generally adheres to state law regarding firearms. However, it’s crucial to understand the specific nuances and restrictions outlined in Utah state law and UVU’s policies to avoid unintentional violations.
Understanding Utah’s Firearm Laws and UVU’s Policies

Utah’s firearms laws are relatively permissive. Generally, individuals 21 years of age or older who are legally allowed to possess a firearm can openly carry a firearm without a permit. Furthermore, individuals 18 years of age or older can obtain a Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP), which allows them to carry a concealed handgun. This is a summary and we encourage readers to review Utah Code Title 53, Chapter 5a: Uniform Firearms Act.

EDIT

Ed. - And so on . . . .
