It is legal to openly carry a gun on Utah’s public university and college campuses with very few exceptions.

In fact, Clark Aposhian, a national firearm lobbyist and the chair of the Utah Shooting Sports Council, said the state is possibly the most permissive in the country when it comes to guns and what few laws restrict them, including in higher education spaces.
