Utah weighs restricting CCWs for nonresidents

Posted by David Hardy · 22 May 2008 09:01 AM

The Deseret News has the story. The problem is that a majority of their applicants are from out of State, and this year they'll issue 40,000 of them.

Limiting it to residents might bump up against the privileges and immunities clause of the Constitution (i.e, the original one, not the 14th Amendment). That's a complex subject; a challenge to the NY requirement that a person either live or have an office in-State in order to get a firearms permit there was upheld a while back on the tenuous ground that the State wasn't discriminating unfairly, it just found it easier to keep track of people who lived or officed there.

Hat tip to Joe Olson....

Apparently, it is all about DOLLARS. If DPS gets the $$$, they'll fight for the program.

Quote:
The problem is that revenue from permits goes into the state's general fund, and only a pittance is used to fund the actual permit office. There's no incentive for DPS to continue issuing permits, because they don't get anything out of it but headaches.

Hmmm, if my permit doesn't show, I'll know why now. I think it may already be overdue. I'd better check my receipt...
