Which type of firearm is prohibited from being carried concealed in Utah, even with a permit?

Short-barreled shotgun
Pistol
Revolver
Semi-automatic rifle

The correct answer is: Short-barreled shotgun

Short-barreled shotguns are prohibited from being carried concealed in Utah, even with a permit, because they are considered to be dangerous and easily concealable. While pistols, revolvers, and semi-automatic rifles can all be carried concealed with a permit, short-barreled shotguns are specifically prohibited due to their potential for harm. Pistols, revolvers, and semi-automatic rifles are commonly used for self-defense and hunting, and are therefore allowed with a permit. However, short-barreled shotguns, being shorter in length and easier to conceal, are not allowed even with a permit. This is to ensure the safety of the public and to prevent the misuse of firearms.
