Under Utah law, which of the following firearms is illegal to own without specific authorization?

  1. Semi-automatic rifle

  2. Short-barreled shotgun

  3. Bolt-action rifle

  4. Lever-action rifle

The correct answer is: Short-barreled shotgun

Under Utah law, it is illegal to own a short-barreled shotgun without specific authorization. Short-barreled shotguns are subject to the National Firearms Act (NFA) regulations, which require individuals to obtain a tax stamp through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before possessing such firearms. Short-barreled shotguns typically have a barrel length of fewer than 18 inches and are considered restricted firearms. This is why option B is the correct answer in this case. A semi-automatic rifle, bolt-action rifle, and lever-action rifle are generally legal to own in Utah without specific authorization beyond the standard requirements for purchasing and possessing firearms. These types of firearms are not subject to the same restrictions as short-barreled shotguns under Utah law.
