What type of background check is required to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer in Utah?

  1. FBI background check

  2. NICS background check

  3. Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification check

  4. No background check is required

The correct answer is: NICS background check

In order to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer in Utah, a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check is required. This check is used to check for any disqualifying criminal history or other disqualifying factors. Options A and C are both part of the NICS check, as the FBI and Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) are both involved in the process. Option D is incorrect, as all licensed firearm dealers are required to conduct a NICS check before making a sale.
