SB 97 (Carry "Unloaded" Firearms Concealed) Killed by Its Own Sponsor
Senate bully Wayne Niederhauser called SB 97 sponsor David Hinkins to a secret meeting. Hinkins was pressured to abandon his bill and promptly killed it without a fight. See a briefing on SB 97 at

Policy Note: Because of the constant games being played -- year after year -- with bills like SB 97 that are only a marginal improvement over the status quo, UT Gun Rights will no longer consider permitless carry bills with an "unloaded" requirement to be "Good" bills.
