(LAS VEGAS)—Big changes to gun laws in Nevada may change how some Utahns travel through the Silver State. Nevada is recognizing concealed carry permits from states like West Virginia and Ohio, but not Utah. Utah concealed carry instructor Steven Beckstead says Utah doesn’t require that you fire and qualify with the gun you’re going to carry but now Nevada does. Beckstead Utahns can still have guns in their cars but cannot carry them with them in Nevada. Gun rights advocates say they’re disappointed with the change as many Utahns travel to or through Nevada on vacation.
