Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Utah?

Yes, always
No, never
Only for private sales
Only from licensed dealers

The correct answer is: No, never

In Utah, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun. This is what makes option B the correct answer. Individuals who are legally allowed to own a firearm are not mandated to obtain a permit specifically for purchasing a handgun in Utah. It is important for individuals to still comply with all other federal and state firearm laws when purchasing a handgun, even though a permit is not required for the purchase itself. Options A, C, and D are incorrect. Option A suggests that a permit is always required, which is not the case in Utah. Option C implies that a permit is only required for private sales, which is also inaccurate. Option D states that a permit is only needed when purchasing from licensed dealers, but this is not a requirement according to Utah state law.
