Once I get the Utah CCW, does that mean I can purchase a firearm (pistol) in Utah with out being a state resident?
No.
The only way you can legally obtain a handgun in a state in which you are not a resident is by gift.
That's federal law.
I thought you could buy from a private seller. Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't that resident requirement only apply to FFL dealers? I know shipping can only be done between FFL dealers or from yourself to yourself. But in person sales I thought was different. If I am wrong I better cancel that new addition I am supposed to pickup next week in Georgia.

The original post dealt with a Utah situation. In Utah, private transactions are just that - private. The in-state requirement, at least dealing with the hypothetical handgun purchase in Utah, deals with FFL dealers.
