Utah Bill Proposes Allowing Concealed Firearms at Major Events: What You Need to Know
A proposed bill in Utah aims to allow concealed firearms permit holders to bring their guns to Utah Jazz and Utah Mammoth home games, as well as other events held at venues that have received more than $1 million in public funding. The bill, HB452, is being introduced by Rep. Candice Pierucci, who believes that individuals should not have their Second Amendment rights restricted at venues that receive state funding. Currently, the NBA and NHL arenas, including the Delta Center, prohibit firearms, but Pierucci's bill seeks to change that. The bill could potentially impact a variety of events and venues across the state, including Real Salt Lake soccer matches, Major League Baseball games, and the Utah State Fair. However, it may not apply to events at Brigham Young University or federal-regulated locations like the Salt Lake City International Airport. The bill is expected to undergo further refinement in the coming days.
