Which action constitutes Unlawful Carrying of Handgun by a License Holder?

• A. Carrying the handgun in complete concealment
• B. Displaying the handgun in plain view in a public place
• C. Carrying a handgun without a license
• D. Carrying a handgun in a vehicle with no license

Answer: (B)

A license holder may carry a handgun in accordance with the license, typically concealed or in other permitted ways. Displaying the handgun in plain view in a public place is not allowed under these rules, because the license is meant to authorize concealed or restricted carry, not openly showing the weapon in public. This act directly triggers the offense of Unlawful Carrying of Handgun by a License Holder.

Carrying in complete concealment is generally lawful for someone with a valid license. Carrying a handgun without a license is a separate offense for someone who does not hold the license. Carrying in a vehicle with no license likewise targets someone without a license—not a license holder—so it does not fit the scenario described.
