****May 14, 2021 Updates*****

The 2021 General Legislative Season is now over.    With the hard work and effort of many, H.B. 60, Permit-less Carry, was passed. 

We are now moving into a Special Legislative Session and your help is needed to make sure a Bill to make Utah a 2A Sanctuary is placed on the agenda.  Please review the information below and take action now. 

***2020***

Please join our Utah Gun Exchange People’s Voice Rapid Response Team and let your voice be heard in person. Read below for action Phase Information and Updates or e-mail us at [email protected] and let us know you’d like to join the Utah Gun Exchange People’s Voice Rapid Response Team.

UGE has been developing and implementing a methodical, deliberate plan of action to ensure that Utah remains a 2^nd Amendment friendly state.   We are unfolding our plan in several phases and will continue to keep you abreast of upcoming events, action items, info on Gun Bills Introduced, 2A Sanctuary activity, etc.   We cannot be successful without YOU.

PHASE 1 – Now Complete. Thank you for those who attended.

• Support and attend the UGE Co-Sponsored and Promoted Multi-Organizational Pro 2A Freedom Rally Feb 8^th
• Use the excitement of the rally to get volunteers to take further action by contacting their Representatives and Senators (Phase 2) and attending our GUNS SAVE LIVES UTAH EVENT (Phase 3).

PHASE 2 – UNDERWAY. Please do this if you haven’t already. Please repeat as often as you can.

• Contact your State Representative and Senator.
• Go to https://le.utah.gov/GIS/findDistrict.jsp
• Enter your street address & zip code
• Click on the Representative and Senator’s Names that are displayed
• A page will be pulled up with their Mailing Address, Phone Number and Email Address

PHASE 3 – Now Complete.

Talk with your Representative and Senator and let your voice be heard.

PHASE 4 – UNDERWAY NOW.

• Join our UGE People’s Voice Rapid Response Team to take further effective action.
• The People’s Voice Rapid Response Team(s) (small groups of volunteers capable of gathering at the Capitol at short notice to show a presence at critical times).  The People’s Voice Rapid Response Team(s) are critical! We want to use this method to apply pressure while Bills are in Committee to let your voice be heard at such a critical time. This is your opportunity to voice your opinion and help stop or promote legislation that can limit or enhance your 2^nd Amendment rights. Your voice may be the one to convince them and your presence will be a loud voice of its own.

PHASES 5 – UNDERWAY NOW.

Build 2A Sanctuary County awareness and support.

Outreach to every County Commission, County Sheriff, state Representative and state Senator on the 2A Sanctuary County issue.

Provide education on the matters of “resolutions” and “ordnances”.

Currently building and organizing volunteer structures for every county in Utah.
