I've been getting emails and Facebook posts asking me to support this. http://le.utah.gov/~2013/bills/hbillint/hb0268.htm
I'm undecided right now.

Section 3 seems to be a good idea so some guy that decides to open carry can avoid arbitrary harassment.
Sections 1a and 1b (i) bother me some. To me it sounds like too much could be left to interpretation by the officer or complainant. Kinda sounds like a cop could show up because you are open carrying, tell you to leave, and then charge you.

I'm looking for some other insights before I say yay or nay. Any thoughts?
