Frequently Asked Questions

What is California proposing regarding gun shows?

California is considering legislation that would ban gun shows at all state fairgrounds. This proposed law builds upon existing prohibitions already in place at fairgrounds in Del Mar and Orange County.

How is Utah responding to local gun regulations?

Utah is enacting a bill that declares the state, not cities or counties, has the final say on gun regulation. This aims to prevent local entities from creating their own firearm rules, particularly concerning gun shows.

What specific loophole is Utah's new bill addressing?

The Utah bill closes a loophole that allowed Salt Lake County to require vendors at gun shows held in county facilities to conduct background checks since 2020. The new law asserts state-level control.

What does Utah's preemption law mean for local governments?

Utah's new law means that state and local government entities, including cities and counties, cannot enact or enforce directives that violate the state's authority over firearm regulation. The state legislature now occupies the entire field of firearm regulation.
