 * It is unlawful to exhibit any firearm in an angry or threatening manner unless in necessary self-defense.


 * A valid Utah concealed firearm permit may be used to waive the BCI background and the corresponding fees. However, the dealer is still required to call BCI to verify the validity of the concealed firearm permit.


 * It is unlawful for a person with a firearm permit to carry a concealed firearm in the following locations:
 * Any secure area in which firearms are prohibited and notice of the prohibition is posted.
 * Any house of worship that has notified BCI and is posted on the BCI website.
 * The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints


 * It is unlawful to discharge any kind of firearm from any vehicle or from, upon, or across any public highway, within Utah State Park buildings, designated camp or picnic sites, overlooks, golf courses, boat ramps, and developed beaches; or without written permission to discharge the dangerous weapon from the owner or person in charge of the property within 600 feet of a house, dwelling, or any other building; or any structure in which a domestic animal is kept or fed, including a barn, poultry yard, corral, feeding pen, or stockyard.

As a permit holder, exactly, where can I carry or not carry a handgun? - http://publicsafety.utah.gov/bci/FAQ.html#5
 * "The concealed firearm permit allows an individual to carry a firearm fully loaded and concealed. The permit also allows an individual to carry a firearm into public schools. Permit holders can not carry a firearm into federal or state restricted areas i.e. any airport secured area, federal facilities, courts, correctional & mental health facilities, law enforcement secured areas, a house of worship or private residence where notice given and/or posted, any secured area in which firearms are prohibited and notice posted, or otherwise prohibited by state of federal law."

What about private businesses? Can they post signs prohibiting someone from carrying a gun into their business even though the person has a concealed firearms permit? - http://publicsafety.utah.gov/bci/FAQ.html#6
 * "Naturally, private property owners may apply whatever restrictions they want. Whether or not these restrictions violate one's constitutional rights is for the civil courts to decide. But the only statutory restrictions on a permit holder are secured areas such as airports and federal buildings."

If I feel someone MAY be a threat to me, can I show them that I have a gun to scare them off? - http://publicsafety.utah.gov/bci/FAQ.html#7
 * "Any action you take with a gun must be in direct self-defense; otherwise, it may be considered threatening with a dangerous weapon and you could be labeled as the aggressor. You may be criminally charged and you will possibly have your permit to carry a concealed firearm revoked. Carrying a firearm is very serious business. There is no room for mistakes. If you pull a firearm on someone or even display the weapon, then it must be in self defense or it is not justified."
