If I have a Utah Concealed Firearms Permit do I have to go through the standard "Brady Bill Background Check" when I purchase a firearm?

A valid Utah concealed firearm permit may be used to waive the BCI background check and the corresponding fees. However, the dealer is still required to call BCI to confirm the validity of the concealed firearm permit.
