Under Maryland law, where is it illegal to carry or transport a loaded handgun?

  1. In your vehicle

  2. On your person

  3. Near a school or government building

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

In Maryland, carrying or transporting a loaded handgun is subject to strict regulations to promote public safety. It is illegal to carry a loaded handgun in a vehicle or on your person without a specific license, and there are additional restrictions regarding proximity to schools and government buildings. The law is designed to ensure that firearms are not easily accessible in sensitive areas, where the potential for danger is higher. This reflects the state's commitment to controlling firearm access in environments that may pose risks to public safety. Therefore, all the stated scenarios — in your vehicle, on your person, and near schools or government buildings — fall under locations where it is illegal to carry or transport a loaded handgun.
