The correct answer is: No, they are preempted by state law

Local governments in Utah are preempted by state law when it comes to firearms regulations. This means that they are not allowed to enact their own firearms regulations that are stricter than state law. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Option A is incorrect because local governments in Utah are not allowed to enact their own firearms regulations without any restrictions. Option B is incorrect because local governments in Utah cannot implement firearms regulations stricter than state law even with state approval. Option D is incorrect because local governments in Utah are not limited to enacting stricter firearms regulations only in certain designated areas; they are preempted by the state law statewide.
