Can a person convicted of a felony own a firearm in Utah?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. No, not at all

  3. Yes, but only after reinstatement of rights

  4. Yes, but only antique firearms

The correct answer is: Yes, but only after reinstatement of rights

A person convicted of a felony in Utah cannot own a firearm unless their rights have been reinstated. Felons are generally prohibited from possessing firearms under federal and state laws. Reinstatement of rights usually involves completing their sentence, probation, and any other conditions set forth by the court. Once rights are reinstated, the individual can legally possess a firearm in Utah. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because the ownership of a firearm by a person convicted of a felony is restricted under Utah law, with the possibility of ownership only after the rights have been reinstated.
