Reasons for Denial of Utah CCW permit

[Warbirds]

I found a list of the reasons why someone could be denied a CCW permit in the state of Utah. I only remember half of these from my class so I thought I would post them here for anyone that might want to know.

1.A DUI conviction within the past 6 years.
2.Any Felony conviction (a crime with a jail term exceeding 1-year).
3.Any conviction for a crime involving Domestic Violence in any state.
4.A conviction for a crime of Moral Turpetude (fraud, theft, tax evasion, issuing bad checks, robbery, bribery, perjury, extortion, arson, criminal mischief, falsifying government records, forgery, receiving stolen property, burglary, vandalism, kidnapping).
5.If you have an outstanding warrant for your arrest (a Wanted Person, or fugitive from justice).
6.If you have a conviction for a Crime of Violence, or are a danger to yourself or others due to a past pattern of behavior or threats involving unlawful violence (including threats or attempts of suicide); or a juvenile delinquency in the past 7 years for an offense that would be violent if an adult.
7.If you are the current subject of a Protective Order.
8.If you have any conviction for any offense involving a Weapons Violation.
9.If you have a conviction for any offense involving unlawful use of or possession of Narcotics or a controlled substance.
10.You can not have been adjudicated by a state or federal court as being Mentally Incompetent to stand trial, been committed to a mental institution, or found not guilty by reason of insanity for a felony.
11.If you are not qualified to purchase or possess a dangerous weapon or handgun pursuant to federal law (a Restricted Person).
12.You can not be an Illegal Alien.
13.You can not have been Dishonorably Discharged from the U.S. Armed Forces.
14.You can not have Renounced your U.S. Citizenship.

This list came from the utah-concealed-carry-permit.com website.

Seems like exactly the reasons you'd expect.

This list has been ubdated since being posted to Utah Conceal Carry.com and many instructors still don't know about the change. It's been in effect for a year. If you don't believe me then call BCI.

As long as you have not been convicted of a felony or sexual offense, then certain time frames apply for misdemeanor crimes.

Below is from http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/c...2/r722-300.htm I suggest you read the rest from the site.

"(b) If the applicant does not meet the qualifications set forth in Subsection 53-5-704(2)(a) because the applicant has been convicted of a crime, the bureau may find that mitigating circumstances exist if the applicant was not convicted of a registerable sex offense, as defined in Subsection 77-27-21.5(1)(n), and the following time periods have elapsed from the date the applicant was convicted or released from incarceration, parole, or probation, whichever occurred last:

(i) five years in the case of a class A misdemeanor;

(ii) four years in the case of a class B misdemeanor; or

(iii) three years in the case of any other misdemeanor or infraction.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision, the bureau may not grant a permit if the applicant does not meet the qualifications in Subsection 53-5-704(2)(a)(viii).

53-5-704(2)(a)(viii). is not qualified to purchase and possess a firearm pursuant to Section 76-10-503 and federal law."

And just to clear any confusion; Although a misdemeanor, A Domestic Violence conviction means you are a restricted person under federal law.

Pretty much the same in every state. So much for "shall-issue."

You forgot the fact that you need a resident permit in the state you live if you are applying for a non-resident permit (if your state has reciprocity)

Good point. Any questions can be answered by UT BCI 801-965-4445. They're usually very friendly and helpful.
