Letter to State Representatives Concerning Firearm Laws

I would firstly like to commend you for considering legislation that clarifies the laws concerning firearms within the state.  Being a concealed firearm permit holder, however, I have learned that there are still many places the law is ambiguous with regards to the ability to peacefully possess a firearm.  

In my understanding, a concealed firearm permit holder (or anyone for that matter) may not carry a firearm into a house of worship, or a private residence, if the proper notice has been given in accordance with Section 76-10-530 of the state code.  What the code does not address is peaceful possession of a firearm on another person's property, such as a private institution of higher learning, for those with a valid concealed firearm permit, or a business, for citizens regardless of having such a permit.  This troubles me because I don't know whether the courts will interpret the law in my favor should the police be called while I am in such a place, and believe I am within my rights.

Shooting at Grandma's

Shooting my .22 at my Grandma's house

Shooting towards the metal target.
Well, these pictures are pretty self-explanatory.  We went up to my Grandma's house for a lunch so that everyone in the world wouldn't have to come all the way down to Provo just to say hi.  While we were up there, I took advantage of the fact that my dad had sighted in my scope while I was gone, and that my grandpa has tons of farmland to shoot on.  We shot at a set of metal targets that my cousin made.  We literally had a blast!
