What is required to legally purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Utah?

  1. Utah hunting license

  2. Background check

  3. A special handgun license

  4. Proof of Utah residency only

The correct answer is: Background check

In order to legally purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Utah, a background check is required. This ensures that the person purchasing the handgun is legally allowed to do so and poses no risk. The other options are incorrect because - A Utah hunting license is not a requirement for purchasing a handgun. Having a hunting license does not automatically grant someone the right to purchase a firearm. - A special handgun license is not needed in Utah. A concealed carry permit may be required to legally carry a handgun outside of one's own property, but it is not necessary for purchasing one from a licensed dealer. - Proof of Utah residency alone is also not enough to legally purchase a handgun. A background check is still required in addition to proof of residency.
