Under Utah law, which of the following is considered a safe storage practice for firearms?

  1. Keeping the firearm in a locked container

  2. Storing firearms and ammunition together

  3. Leaving firearms unsecured in a vehicle

  4. Keeping the firearm on a high shelf

The correct answer is: Keeping the firearm in a locked container

Keeping the firearm in a locked container is considered a safe storage practice for firearms under Utah law. This is the correct answer because storing firearms in a locked container helps prevent unauthorized access, especially by children or individuals who should not have access to the firearm. It also reduces the risk of theft and mishandling. Storing firearms and ammunition together, leaving firearms unsecured in a vehicle, and keeping the firearm on a high shelf are not considered safe storage practices. Storing firearms and ammunition together can increase the risk of accidents or unauthorized use. Leaving firearms unsecured in a vehicle makes them vulnerable to theft, and keeping the firearm on a high shelf does not prevent unauthorized access or secure storage.
