Is there a waiting period for purchasing a firearm in Utah?

  1. Yes, 72 hours for all firearms

  2. Yes, but only for handguns

  3. No, but there is an optional waiting period

  4. No, Utah law does not require a waiting period

The correct answer is: No, Utah law does not require a waiting period

In Utah, there is no mandatory waiting period for purchasing a firearm. Once a background check is completed and the purchaser passes all necessary requirements, the transaction can be completed without any additional waiting time. This is why the correct answer is D. Option A is incorrect because Utah does not mandate a 72-hour waiting period for all firearms. Option B is not the correct choice as there is no specific waiting period exclusively for handguns. Option C is also inaccurate as Utah does not have an optional waiting period for firearm purchases.
