I am on my way on the 14th and will apply for my conceal permit immediately. I would like to OC in the meantime. Open Carry in a car here in Ca. is very restrictive due to the school zones. Do Utah school zones also apply to open carry in your car?

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

you can OC or CC inside of your car with or without a CFP... school zones do not matter.
With a CFP, you can carry onto school grounds/inside schools.
Just make sure that when your OCing without a CFP that your gun is "utah unloaded" ...meaning the gun is 2 steps from firing. No round in chamber with a semi-auto is what most do... (racking the slide to chamber a round is 1 step, pulling the trigger is the second step)

To expand a little on the above post, you may carry a handgun however you please in your car.
If you have a permit from ANY state, you may carry however you please outside of your car as well.
If you do not have a permit, the "2 action rule" applies everywhere except your car.

Thanks Y'all. I appreciate your great info, I will now be confident that I am in accordance with the law.
In honor of John M. Browning I plan on putting my 1911 Govt. model on the dash so that it is the first of my guns
to enter the state.
