The Crossroads of the West Gun Shows scheduled an event at the Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy for the weekend of July 18-19, 2026. The event takes place against a backdrop of established state regulations governing the sale and purchase of firearms in Utah.
Weekend Event Schedule
The upcoming gun show at the Mountain America Expo Center will operate with specific weekend hours. According to event details from Crossroads of the West Gun Shows, Saturday sessions are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., while Sunday hours run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Admission for the event is provided via ticket purchases that allow entrance for both days of the show. The organizers noted that children aged 12 and under do not require a ticket, provided they are accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Utah Firearm Regulations
The event occurs within the regulatory framework established by Utah state law. As outlined in Utah Code Chapter 53-5a, which became effective on May 7, 2025, the state maintains specific legislative structures regarding firearm laws.
This portion of the Utah Code is organized into several parts that address different aspects of public enough safety and firearm management. These include provisions for the sale and purchase of firearms, concealed firearm permits, and protections for state-made firearms.
Scope of State Law
The legislative structure of Title 53, Chapter 5a, covers a broad range of public safety topics. The code includes specific sections dedicated to the Federal Firearm Enforcement Limitation Act and the establishment of firearms safe harbor provisions.
Additionally, the statutes provide legal frameworks for shooting ranges and the regulation of various firearm-related activities across the state. These laws, as documented in the official Utah Code, serve as the primary legal authority for firearm-related commerce and usage within the jurisdiction.
Regulatory Oversight
While the Crossroads of the West Gun Shows event in Sandy continues its seasonal schedule, all firearm transactions remain subject to the mandates found in the Utah Public Safety Code. The state's regulatory framework remains active following the updates implemented in May 2025.
