Under Utah law, how must a firearm be transported in a vehicle if the owner does not have a concealed carry permit?

  1. Loaded and within easy reach

  2. Unloaded and locked in the glove compartment

  3. Unloaded and secured in a case

  4. Any method, as long as it is not visible

The correct answer is: Unloaded and secured in a case

According to Utah law, if the owner of a firearm does not have a concealed carry permit, the firearm must be unloaded and secured in a case while being transported in a vehicle. Option A is incorrect because it is illegal to have a loaded firearm within reach in a vehicle. Option B is incorrect because a glove compartment is not considered a secure place for storing a firearm in a vehicle. Option D is incorrect because it is against the law to have an openly visible firearm in a vehicle without a concealed carry permit. Therefore, the only legal and safe way to transport a firearm in a vehicle in Utah without a concealed carry permit is by keeping it unloaded and secured in a case.
