Utah Permit

 I finally sent in my application for a non-resident carry permit from Utah. I wasn't sure if I wanted one,as I only go to Pennsylvania once or twice a year. Having to go through Illinois and the accompanying BS of disarming and storing a handgun at a rest stop or gas station to get through made me hesitate. Screw 'em,it's worth it,hehehe. I had to decide before my one year anniversary of training was up,and I did. That was 56 days ago. Today's mail included a white envelope from Utah with my ccw permit. WooHoo! I was told by Chris Z and Roger T. that it would take pretty much the full 60 days so it was easy to be patient.  RJ

To cross IL, simply put the (unloaded) gun in the trunk in some kind of case.

I just read on another forum that Utah has changed it requirements to obtain a Utah Permit, you must hold a permit from your own state first to get a Utah Non-Resident permit...

Yeah, I forgot about that. I read the requirements before I sent in the app and made a copy of my Ne. permit and sent it with the other stuff. That satisfied them. Not a big deal. Glad you mentioned it as a heads up to anyone else, Info from six months ago is outdated.  RJ
BTW--- back to the going through Illinois thing. The procedure, as I see it,  is to have two lockable cases. One for the unloaded gun,the other for clips and ammo.  The tricky part is finding a place that's away from prying eyes to do all this without a hoplophobe calling the authorities and reporting a "man with gun". Any help from others who have done this and figured out the easiest way would be appreciated.

omaharj,
It is really not that complicated.  I called the ISP about 3 years ago as there was a course I wanted to attend.  I was put through to a SGT who was VERY helpful and thorough.  Also, sent me their "official" brochure.  As has been stated, firearm unloaded, locked and separated from ammunition.  Keep in mind they got to have a reason to search your vehicle, etc in the first place.
Now, Chi-Town is a different story......
