Open carry is allowed in a persons ________________________________.

• A. place of business
• B. residence
• C. school
• D. park

Answer: (A)

Open carry hinges on who controls the space and what local or state laws allow in that setting. A private property owner can set policies about firearms on their premises, and if they permit it, carrying openly is allowed there. A person running or working at a place of business has that control over the space, so open carry can be permissible on that private property as long as it complies with broader laws and any specific business rules. That’s why this choice fits best: the place of business is a private setting where the owner’s authorization matters, making open carry possible within those confines.

In other common locations, rules are tighter: schools typically prohibit firearms, and many public areas or parks have restrictions or require compliance with licensing and posting. A residence can be a permissive setting, but the question highlights the business property as the scenario where the policy is determined by the owner, which is why it’s chosen as the best answer.
