Which of the following reflects the offense of Unlawful Carrying of Handgun by a License Holder?

• A. Carry a handgun on the license holder's person and display it in plain view
• B. Carry a handgun in any manner as long as licensed
• C. Carry a handgun without a license
• D. Carry a handgun in a holster only

Answer: (A)

Carrying rules for a license holder hinge on how the weapon is carried and whether it’s visible to others. The offense described targets the act of a licensed individual having the handgun on their body and showing it in plain view. Simply having a license isn’t a free pass to expose the weapon openly; the law restricts that visible display in certain circumstances, making open, on-the-person display unlawful in this context.

The other scenarios don’t fit because they either ignore the visibility restriction, involve carrying without a license, or impose a condition (like carrying only in a holster) that isn’t what this offense describes.
