Since an out of state resident can receive a "CWP" from Utah and Georgia has written agreement with Utah to honor the permit how many of you have a Utah Permit to carry rather than Georgia?

I don't.
I'm not sure what you mean either and so keeping with the ON TOPIC of this forum why don't you move it so we can see what you mean.

I believe he is talking about reciprocity (the agreement that GA will honor a UTAH CCW). GWL is honored in several other states in the same manner. I have a GWL and would only consider a Utah if it had a reciprocal agreement with a state that wouldn't honor a GWL.
Edit: If I wanted to carry in Virginia or Ohio for example - I would get a Utah CCW.

Double check Ga. law. I have a Utah permit and live in Ca. my permit would be honored in a number of states. However, in some states a resident cannot circumvent their state laws by using an out of state permit in their home state.

Utah is honored in GA. However, you must follow GA CCW laws, regardless of your Utah CCW.

If you are a Georgia resident you cannot carry on an out of state permit in Georgia. I think that is what you're referring to, here is the code section that addresses it.
O.C.G.A. § 16-11-126
Carrying a weapon
(e) Any person licensed to carry a handgun or weapon in any other state whose laws recognize and give
effect to a license issued pursuant to this part shall be authorized to carry a weapon in this state, but
only while the licensee is not a resident of this state; provided, however, that such licensee shall carry
the weapon in compliance with the laws of this state.

Thank you for citing the code section. That is exactly what I was refering to.
