Utah recognizes both a concealed firearm permit under Title 53 Chapter 5 and permitless concealed carry for qualifying adults statewide, preempting local restrictions.
Under Utah Code Title 53 Chapter 5 Part 7, the Bureau of Criminal Identification issues concealed firearm permits to qualifying applicants. In 2021, Utah enacted permitless concealed carry allowing adults 21 or older who may lawfully possess a firearm to carry concealed without a permit. Permits remain available for reciprocity in other states. Local governments cannot impose additional concealed carry restrictions due to the firearm preemption statute. Carrying in restricted locations such as secure areas of courts, airports, and certain school zones remains regulated by state law.
Carrying concealed without lawful authority or in restricted locations may be prosecuted as a class A misdemeanor or felony depending on circumstances under state law.
