Passed final hurdle, so does that mean the governor will sign it and it will become law?
I'm all for it. I've thought that the age of 18 is when you are an adult and should be able to do things like drink, smoke, and own a pistol. If you can serve your country in the military, than you should be able to enjoy all the rights and privileges of being an adult.

Gun law tweaks allow young adults to get a concealed carry permit

A bill to allow young adults, age 18 and older, to get concealed-carry permits gained final approval Thursday. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, R-Clearfield, said HB198 is intended to protect women, particularly college students, from sexual assault.
"Research shows that violent crimes, including rape, are reduced when more law-abiding citizens carry concealed handguns," she said earlier.
Opponents said that doesn't pan out in Utah, where there is a high rate of sexual assault and gun ownership is prolific.
