Is open carry of firearms allowed in Utah?

  1. Yes, without a permit

  2. Yes, but only with a permit

  3. No

  4. Yes, but only unloaded firearms

The correct answer is: Yes, but only unloaded firearms

In Utah, open carry of firearms is allowed, but there are specific regulations that need to be followed. The correct answer is "Yes, but only unloaded firearms" because Utah allows open carry of firearms as long as the weapon is unloaded. This means that the firearm must not have any ammunition in the chamber or in a magazine inserted into the firearm. It is important for individuals who choose to open carry to be aware of and follow these guidelines to ensure compliance with the law. Option A: "Yes, without a permit" is not entirely correct, as open carry is allowed in Utah but only with certain restrictions, such as carrying an unloaded firearm. Option B: "Yes, but only with a permit" is incorrect because a permit is not required for open carry in Utah, as long as the firearm is unloaded. Option C: "No" is incorrect as open carry is permitted in Utah, subject to specific regulations.
