Dangerous Weapons at Daycares and Schools

HB 180 clarifies that individuals with concealed carry permits in Utah cannot open carry dangerous weapons (including firearms) on daycare or school grounds, except when lawfully responding to an active threat. This directly affects permit holders who would otherwise be permitted to carry firearms in public spaces under existing law. The bill amends Utah Code sections to explicitly prohibit open carry of dangerous weapons on school/daycare premises, aligning with existing restrictions on concealed carry in these locations. It makes technical changes to clarify existing prohibitions without adding new penalties or funding. The bill does not change general firearm laws but specifically addresses carry rules at educational facilities.
