Can you openly carry a loaded firearm in Utah without a permit?

  1. Yes, without any restrictions

  2. Yes, if the firearm is two actions from being fired

  3. No, open carry is not permitted

  4. Yes, but only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, if the firearm is two actions from being fired

In Utah, you can openly carry a loaded firearm without a permit as long as the firearm is two actions away from being fired. This means that there must be two separate movements or actions required to fire the weapon, like racking the slide and then pressing the trigger. This requirement helps ensure an added layer of safety when openly carrying a loaded firearm in public.
