Can someone be charged with a felony for carrying a concealed firearm in Utah without a permit?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No, never

  3. Yes, but only if they are a felon

  4. Yes, but only in places where carrying is prohibited

The correct answer is: Yes, always

In Utah, it is illegal to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. However, the severity of the charge depends on the specific circumstances. Simply carrying a concealed firearm without a permit can result in a felony charge. Option A is the most accurate because it covers all potential scenarios. Option B is incorrect, as carrying a concealed firearm without a permit is indeed a crime in Utah. Option C is also incorrect, as the individual's criminal history does not change the fact that they are carrying a firearm without a permit. Option D is incorrect because carrying laws can vary depending on location, but the lack of permit is still a violation of the law in Utah. Overall, while it is possible for someone to be charged with a misdemeanor instead of a felony depending on the circumstances, option A is the most accurate response based on the given question.
