Open carry is allowed for persons engaged in, or going to and from, _______, __________, or lawful ____________.

• A. fishing, camping, hunting
• B. hunting, fishing, boating
• C. camping, fishing, hunting
• D. fishing, hunting, camping

Answer: (A)

Open carry allowances are tied to traveling to and from certain lawful outdoor activities. The idea is that you may openly carry while you’re on your way to or returning from activities where firearms are commonly used legally, namely fishing, camping, or hunting. This combination reflects the typical carve-out in laws that recognize the practical need to move between home and those activities without running afoul of open carry restrictions. The other options add boating or omit one of the core activities, so they don’t align with how these allowances are usually written.
