In 2024, the state enacted a law to improve data collection on crime guns but also passed a bill incentivizing school employees to carry firearms.
There are no magazine capacity restrictions for handguns in Utah.
Utah does not prohibit the possession or transfer of machine guns although a person under age 18 is prohibited from possessing a “fully automatic weapon,” which includes a machine gun. Any person who transfers, in violation of applicable state or federal law, a fully automatic weapon to a minor is guilty of a felony.
Utah Gun Laws “The individual right of the people to keep and bear arms for security and defense of self, family, others, property, or the State as well as for other lawful purposes shall not be infringed; but nothing herein shall prevent the legislature from defining the lawful use of arms.”
The Second Amendment was written to protect Americans' right to establish militias to defend themselves, not to allow individual Americans to own guns; consequently, gun-control measures do not violate the U.S. Constitution.
Second Amendment sanctuary state declaration Lisonbee is also the sponsor of firearms-related House bills 107 and 120. HB 219 states that Utah “and its political subdivisions will not enforce federal regulations that purport to restrict or ban certain firearms, ammunition, or firearms accessories.”
It is LEGAL for any individual who is at least 18 years old and not a prohibited person as defined in 76-10-503 or 18 U.S.C. 922(g) to have a fully loaded handgun anywhere in a vehicle including concealed on your body if it is your vehicle or you have consent from the owner of the vehicle.
