Do Utah gun laws preempt local gun control laws?

  1. Yes, completely

  2. No

  3. Yes, but cities can regulate firearms discharge

  4. Yes, but local governments can implement waiting periods

The correct answer is: Yes, completely

In Utah, gun laws do preempt local gun control laws completely. This means that local governments in Utah are not allowed to enact their own firearms laws that are more restrictive than state laws. Utah has a state statute that expressly prohibits local governments from passing any gun laws that are stricter than what the state already has in place. This ensures consistency and clarity in gun regulations throughout the state.
