In the context of Utah laws, which of the following is considered a 'dangerous weapon'?

  1. A knife with a blade longer than 4 inches

  2. A loaded firearm

  3. A baseball bat

  4. A taser

The correct answer is: A loaded firearm

In the context of Utah laws, a loaded firearm is considered a 'dangerous weapon'. Utah Code defines a dangerous weapon as "any item capable of causing death or serious bodily injury." A loaded firearm certainly falls under this definition due to its potential to cause significant harm. While items like a knife with a blade longer than 4 inches, a baseball bat, or a taser can also be dangerous under certain circumstances, a loaded firearm poses a high level of risk and is explicitly classified as a dangerous weapon in Utah laws.
