Which offense concerns a license holder unlawfully carrying a handgun?

• A. Hoax Bombs
• B. Unlawful Possession of Metal or Body Armor by Felon
• C. Unlawful Carrying of Handgun by License Holder
• D. Prohibited Weapons

Answer: (C)

Licensed handgun carriers must follow specific restrictions on when, where, and how they may carry. When a person who holds a valid license to carry a handgun does so in a way or in a location that the law prohibits, that behavior constitutes a distinct offense: unlawfully carrying a handgun by a license holder. This offense exists to hold licensed carriers accountable for abiding by the same boundaries that apply to all carry, and it covers situations like carrying into prohibited areas or otherwise violating license terms. The other options describe different crimes—hoax bombs relate to threats, unlawful possession of armor by a felon targets body armor, and prohibited weapons cover weapons that are illegal to possess regardless of a license—so they do not address the scenario of a licensed individual carrying a handgun unlawfully.
