What is the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for carrying a firearm in D.C.?

  1. 0.08%

  2. 0.02%

  3. 0.04%

  4. There is no legal BAC limit

The correct answer is: 0.04%

In Washington D.C., the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for carrying a firearm is 0.04%. This limit is in place to ensure that individuals handling firearms do so with a clear mind and without impairment from alcohol. It is important for gun owners to be responsible and adhere to these regulations to prevent any potential dangers and ensure the safety of themselves and others. Option A (0.08%) is the legal BAC limit for driving under the influence in many states, but not for carrying a firearm in Washington D.C. Option B (0.02%) is a lower BAC limit than what is legally allowed for carrying a firearm in D.C. Option D (There is no legal BAC limit) is incorrect as there is indeed a legal BAC limit for carrying a firearm in Washington D.C., which is 0.04%.
