Under Utah law, what defines a loaded firearm in terms of conceal carry?

  1. Ammunition in the chamber

  2. A magazine in the firearm

  3. Ammunition within reach of the driver in a vehicle

  4. Both A and B

The correct answer is: Ammunition in the chamber

Under Utah law, a loaded firearm is defined as having ammunition in the chamber, meaning the bullet is already in position to be fired. While having a magazine in the firearm may also indicate that it is ready to be used, it may not necessarily mean that there is a bullet in the chamber. Additionally, having ammunition within reach of the driver in a vehicle does not necessarily mean that the firearm is loaded. Therefore, the only option that fully meets the definition of a loaded firearm under Utah law is having ammunition in the chamber.
