UT:Bill introduced to Prevent Police form Using "Disorderly Conduct" charge to Chill Exercise of Second Amendment

Curt Bramble, R-Provo, are both running separate bills to define the ability of law enforcement to charge a person openly carrying a weapon in public places with disorderly conduct. Both were co-sponsors of legislation that cleared the House in 2013, but died when compromise language raised opposition to the measure.
