Utah’s governor on Feb. 12 signed a measure into law that allows people in the state to carry a concealed gun without a permit.

“With the passage of this bill, Utah joins 17 other states with some form of permitless concealed carry,” Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican in his first term, said in a statement to news outlets.
