Utah Law Allowing Open Carry on Campuses Criticized After Kirk’s Assassination

HeadlineSep 16, 2025

Before the bill’s passage last month, firearms had to be concealed on college campuses in Utah. Meanwhile, Florida’s attorney general says people can now openly carry firearms in public after the state’s appeals court struck down a 40-year ban on the practice.
