I got this off of the Utah Shooting Sports Council website:
Summary of Utah State Firearms Laws
(As of November, 1998) [Courtesy NRA-ILA]
QUICK REFERENCE CHART
Rifles and Shotguns Handguns
Permit to Purchase No No
Registration of Firearms No No
Licensing of Owners No No
Permit to Carry No Yes*
*A permit is required to carry a concealed weapon.
As far as I know there has been no change since this time concerning gun registration in Utah.
I can say that per the BATFE & several dealers I have spoken with, that dealers are required to keep upon their property the records of all sales and they are supposed to destroy the background check form.
So in answer to your query on the newspaper writers article; yes, they did get it wrong again and definitely showed their continued ignorance, or lack of desire to get to the truth in order to write an honest and unbiased article--as usual.
