Magazine capacity limits by state
Utah law in detail
- Concealed Carry Permit Benefits — While not required for 21+, the optional permit provides reciprocity with other states and waives the NICS background check at dealers.
The federal rule
There is no federal magazine capacity limit; the federal limit ended with the 1994 ban in 2004. State limits usually cover sale, transfer and manufacture, and a few also make possession illegal, so a magazine you already own can be legal to keep but not to bring in.
