Utah requires a permit from your home state IF that state issues and IF that state has reciprocity with Utah.
Texas will issue a CCW non-resident, which is widely honored. Do check however as many have said, Virginal and Pennsylvania have both been playing games with reciprocity as of late.

See if you can draw while your seat belt is fastened!, yes this can be done, quickly and safely IF you practice.
Sorry for the Public Service Announcement, but I see way too many people that think they know about guns because they on occasion go to a range and shoot a few rounds.
