California, Connecticut*, Hawaii, Illinois, Oregon, Maryland*, Massachusetts*, Minnesota*, New Jersey*, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island*, South Carolina**, and Washington D.C*.

* It may be possible for a Utah resident to obtain a non-resident permit/license from a state listed above which would allow you to carry a concealed firearm within that state. All information to obtain these state’s non-resident permits/licenses is provided below.

** South Carolina (as of March 7th, 2024) is a Constitutional Carry state. As weird as it is South Carolina does not recognize the Utah permits but this no longer matters. Anyone at least 18 years old and who can legally possess a firearm can carry fully loaded firearms, openly or concealed without a permit. SLED Guidance
