  1. Semi-automatic rifles

  2. Fully automatic rifles

  3. Bolt-action rifles

The correct answer is: Fully automatic rifles

Fully automatic rifles are illegal to possess in Utah without a special permit. This type of firearm is categorized as a "machine gun" and is heavily regulated under the National Firearms Act. Semi-automatic rifles, bolt-action rifles, and shotguns are all legal to possess in Utah without special permits. However, certain restrictions may still apply depending on factors such as barrel length and overall length of the firearm. It is important to review state and federal laws before purchasing or owning any type of firearm.
