Is it legal to open carry handguns or shotguns in Utah national forests? I'm not concerned about national parks as the law allowing firearms there does not take effect until next year IIRC.

Thanks

This was all I was able to find:

Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest - Recreational Activities


It seems to imply it's ok.

Other national forest faqs came right out and said if they were prohibited, but I didn't see that for the Utah forests. I'd probably call one of their local offices to get a definite answer.

I contacted the Utah national forest supervisor who said that handguns and shotguns are ok. It's based on state law.

Also, national parks are off limits until next February when the new law goes into effect which will allow people to carry.

It's illegal NOT to carry a firearm in Utah national forests... or at least is should be.
