It depends upon how the national laws are worded and the definition of firearm.

Probably. In Utah, it is illegal to discharge any "dangerous weapon" or firearm within 600 feet of any building unless you have specific written permission to do so from the owner of that property.

There may also be specific laws in SLC proper but I'm not sure.

A pellet gun, also known as an air gun or BB gun, shoots a projectile by means of compressed air. States differ in how they regulate pellet guns. A few states and municipalities regulate them the same as all firearms; other states lump them into the "dangerous weapons" category along with other weapons such as long knives and police batons. Massachusetts does neither. The only restriction on the possession of pellet guns in Massachusetts is age-related. Minors are not allowed to buy or sell pellet guns and cannot use them unless they are under the direct supervision of a parent, guardian or other responsible adult.
