Are background checks required for private gun sales in Utah?

  1. Yes, for all gun sales

  2. Yes, but only for sales of handguns

  3. No, they are not required

  4. Yes, but only when the buyer appears suspicious

The correct answer is: No, they are not required

In Utah, background checks are not required for private gun sales. This means that individuals can sell or transfer firearms to each other without undergoing a background check. It is important to note that this exemption applies only to private sales, and licensed firearm dealers are still required to conduct background checks on all buyers, regardless of whether the sale is for a handgun or another type of firearm. Therefore, option C is the correct choice in this scenario.
