Who can legally purchase a firearm in Utah?

  1. Anyone over the age of 18

  2. Only U.S. citizens

  3. Non-felons over the age of 21

  4. Only residents of Utah

The correct answer is: Non-felons over the age of 21

In Utah, individuals who can legally purchase a firearm must meet certain criteria. The correct answer is non-felons over the age of 21 because state law requires that individuals purchasing firearms must not have any felony convictions on their record and must be at least 21 years old. This ensures that individuals who have committed serious crimes are not able to purchase firearms, promoting safety and responsibility in gun ownership. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the specific legal requirements for purchasing a firearm in Utah. Simply being over the age of 18, being a U.S. citizen, or being a resident of Utah alone does not guarantee the legal ability to purchase a firearm in the state.
