What is considered brandishing a weapon in Utah?

  1. Carrying a weapon in open view

  2. Pointing a gun at someone without intending to shoot

  3. Wearing a concealed firearm

  4. Drawing a firearm in a threatening manner

The correct answer is: Drawing a firearm in a threatening manner

Brandishing a weapon in Utah is defined as drawing a firearm in a threatening manner. This action goes beyond simply carrying a weapon in open view or wearing a concealed firearm. Pointing a gun at someone without intending to shoot can also be a serious offense, but brandishing specifically refers to drawing a firearm in a manner that is perceived as a threat. This behavior is illegal and can have serious consequences under Utah gun laws.
