What does Utah law require for a firearm to be considered securely encased for transport in a vehicle?

  1. Locked in the glove compartment

  2. Encased in a gun case, whether locked or not

  3. Hidden from plain view

  4. Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

In Utah, to be considered securely encased for transport in a vehicle, a firearm must either be locked in the glove compartment or encased in a gun case, whether locked or not. This means that the correct answer is D, as both options A and B fulfill the legal requirements for securely encasing a firearm while in a vehicle. Option A, which states that the firearm must be locked in the glove compartment, is a valid method of securely encasing a firearm according to Utah law. However, it is not the only requirement. Option B states that the firearm must be encased in a gun case, whether locked or not, which is also a permissible way to securely encase a firearm while in a vehicle. Option C, which mentions that the firearm must be hidden from plain view, is not sufficient on its own to meet the legal definition of securely encased in Utah. Simply hiding the firearm from plain view does not provide the necessary level of security required by the law.
