1. 1.If it's concealed then it has to stay concealed. Even "printing" can lead to brandishing charges. By this new piece of legislation even if I have a CCP I can say I was open carrying.
2. I was talking about the sp101 a S/DA revolver I can cock and un-cock the firearm in a big jacket pocket with one hand which will load the weapon, given that there would have to be two empty chambers (two mechanical actions required to fire = unloaded by Utah law) and that there is a transfer bar. By the unaltered legislature the firearm can be in a pocket as long as part of it is visible. The new bill blurs that line allowing my to decide the nature of carry.

If the new bill passes entirely, I would be cautious about all your assumptions on how it would effect the law in place. It's a small addition, and doesn't change any of the other definitions. You seem to be inferring a lot of change that isn't defined in the law. The bill doesn't change 76-10-501 which defines concealed. So in the case concealed is still concealed and open is still open, it doesn't add any new definitions for this grey area you're implying.
