Can a person be charged with a crime for leaving a firearm where a child can access it, in Utah?

  1. Yes, in all cases

  2. No, never

  3. Yes, but only if the child uses the firearm

  4. Yes, but only if the firearm is loaded

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if the child uses the firearm

In Utah, a person can be charged with a crime for leaving a firearm where a child can access it, even if the child does not use the firearm. The key point to note is that the important factor is whether the firearm is accessible to the child, not specifically if the child uses the firearm. Therefore, Option C is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the principle of the law in Utah regarding the responsibility of gun owners to prevent children from accessing firearms.
