On private property where carrying is not posted against, carrying a handgun is allowed. True or False?

• A. False
• B. Only with permission from owner
• C. Only with a permit
• D. True

Answer: (D)

On private property, the notice or posting matters. If there’s no sign prohibiting firearms, a person who is legally allowed to possess a handgun can carry there. The owner still controls private space and can ask you to leave or restrict entry, and failing to comply could lead to trespass. Keep in mind that certain places are off-limits by law regardless of posting (for example, schools or certain government buildings), and if your jurisdiction requires a permit for concealed carry, you must have that permit to stay within the law.
