Which of the following qualifies as a 'prohibited person' under Utah gun laws?

  1. Anyone under the age of 21

  2. Permanent residents

  3. Individuals convicted of a felony

  4. Active duty military personnel

The correct answer is: Individuals convicted of a felony

Individuals convicted of a felony are considered 'prohibited persons' under Utah gun laws. This restriction is put in place to prevent those with a serious criminal history from possessing firearms, as they are considered to pose a higher risk to public safety. Felons are prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms in Utah, in accordance with federal law as well. It is important to understand and adhere to these regulations to ensure the responsible and lawful ownership of firearms in the state. The other options are not classified as 'prohibited persons' under Utah gun laws.
