Can someone who has been convicted of a felony obtain a concealed firearm permit in Utah?

  1. Yes, if the conviction was more than 10 years ago

  2. No, unless the felony has been expunged

  3. Yes, with a pardon

  4. No, under any circumstances

The correct answer is: No, unless the felony has been expunged

In Utah, individuals who have been convicted of a felony are generally prohibited from obtaining a concealed firearm permit unless the felony has been expunged. The process of expungement involves having the conviction removed from the individual's criminal record, essentially erasing the legal consequences of the conviction. This is why choice B is the correct answer. While choices A, C, and D may seem plausible, they are not accurate in the context of Utah gun laws. Having a conviction more than 10 years ago, obtaining a pardon, or being ineligible under any circumstances due to a felony conviction do not typically allow an individual to obtain a concealed firearm permit in Utah.
