Are Binary Triggers Legal in Utah?

ATF's Utah compendium lists the state's weapons and firearm-preemption provisions without a binary-trigger, trigger-activator, or rate-enhancement entry. A state-specific analysis still has to account for the host firearm and any change in its statutory classification after installation.

Binary triggers are legal under federal law and are not machine guns under 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b); ATF treats the trigger pull and the trigger release as two separate functions of the trigger, so one round is fired per function. Cargill v. Garland (2024) concerned bump stocks, not binary triggers, and does not change this.

Scope: Binary triggers (Franklin Armory BFSIII and similar): fire one round on trigger pull and one on release. Forced reset triggers are a separate class.
