What is a camping permit?

Is it legal to keep my handgun in my tent when camping? I don't have a concealed carry permit.?

  • I am going camping in the mountains in Utah.

  • Answer:

    Unless the area is restricted then yes you can have a gun with you when you are camping. Utah is one of the states that follows the Constitution so you have Second Amendment rights.

In all likelihood it is legal because it is in your tent and not on your person. But I would check campground regulations..

Probably worth checking with local police. I bring mine when I camp, but I keep it concealed and have never had an issue.

Yes, A tent is considerd ,as well as the campsite, your home or place of residence. However as another comment stated some jurisdictions have strict firearms laws. To carry firearms in a national Park for example one must have a firearms carry permit. If you are planing your trip call ahead to where you are going as to their firearms regulations

A tent is NOT considered your home or place of residence for purposes of the Fourth Amendment Search and Seizure. If you are going dispersed camping in the National Forest lands of Utah, then you are not likely to be bothered by anyone unless you are trying to commit crimes. However, you are statistically safer NOT keeping a firearm with you while camping than keeping a gun in bed with you. I always laugh at men who sleep with guns because I have seen too many accidents in which toes and brains have been knocked off by the accidental discharge of a firearm.
