What is the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for carrying a firearm in public places in California?

0.08%
0%
0.05%
There is no specific BAC limit

The correct answer is: 0%

In California, the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for carrying a firearm in public places is indeed set at 0%. This means that it is illegal to carry a firearm while having any measurable amount of alcohol in your system. The rationale behind this strict regulation is to ensure public safety and to reduce the risks associated with impaired judgment and increased likelihood of accidents or confrontations that can occur when a firearm is involved. Options that suggest a BAC limit of 0.08% or 0.05% pertain more to driving under the influence laws and do not apply to firearm possession. There is also a misconception that no specific BAC limit exists, but in the context of firearm carry laws, the complete prohibition of alcohol consumption when carrying is clearly established.
