HB75 eliminates a 1,000-foot gun-free buffer around schools. It was against the law for individuals without a concealed weapon permit to openly carry a firearm in that area.   During the Senate debate, Sen. Lyle Hillyard, R-Logan, said Herbert would veto the bill if the Legislature didn’t leave in place a 50-foot buffer, but the governor signed the legislation anyway.
