The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees to individuals the right to keep and bear arms. (Utah has since changed its law to allow certain felons to possess firearms after seven years of good behavior.)Persons convicted of a felony, or a misdemeanor violation of the election code, lose the right to vote in Utah. See Utah Code § 20A-2-101(2)(b). Any person who transfers, in violation of applicable state or federal law, a fully automatic weapon to a minor is guilty of a felony. Even though Utah has relaxed gun laws that allow most people over 21 and many people over 18 to own a gun, there is a strict ban on felons owning guns. In Utah, you must be at least 21 years old to carry a loaded firearm without a permit. Those who are 18-20 must get a concealed firearm permit to carry. The 1968 Gun Control Act and subsequent amendments codified at 18 U.S.C. § 921 et seq. Section 922(g) is the law that prohibits felons, and certain other groups, from possessing firearms.
