People who own, carry, sell, or otherwise deal in guns and weapons are subject to a myriad of complex laws.

Gun crimes are considered very serious in Utah, while the most serious gun and weapons-related charges can carry severe penalties, including prison. Even if you do not have a specific intent to intimidate or harm someone with a gun or weapon, you may still face serious charges.
