Wife now informs me she wants to move closer to the grandbabbies and a move in the future may happen to the SLC area.

What are the taxes like?

Does the state tax military retirement?

How much open public land for long range shooting?

Re: Utah Does the state tax military retirement?

If you move near SLC, theres plenty of places to shoot. Several good indoor ranges, several great gun shops (cough... impact)

And most of all, if you drive anywhere west/south of the lake, you can shoot all you want.


I take I-15 south from Hill AFB, then get on I-80 west, and get off at exit 77, and go towards a bigass rock out in the middle of no where.

You can literally shoot 7-10 miles in any direction, and not hit a damn thing. I sighted in my rifle, and decided to use the mountain tip as my target. I saw the round impact a couple thousand yards off through my spotting scope...

Shooting out here is GTG!


Taxes, im not sure. I live on base, so taxes are laughed at

Looks like Utah does tax... the below reference from a quick google search so it's not gospel. If you are coming from KY be prepared for a huge cultural difference in Utah. I moved from TN a while ago, and no longer live in UT.

Because of their culture I will never move back. Seperation of church and state not so much...It is a beautiful place, and you can absolutely find open spaces as Alderleet mentions to shoot everywhere no doubt.
