What is the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit while carrying a firearm in Iowa?

  1. 0.02%

  2. 0.08%

  3. 0.00%

  4. 0.04%

The correct answer is: 0.00%

In Iowa, it is illegal to carry a firearm while under the influence of alcohol. Therefore, the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit while carrying a firearm in Iowa is 0.00%. This means that any amount of alcohol in your system while carrying a firearm is considered a violation of the law. Option A (0.02%) and D (0.04%) are incorrect because while these BAC levels may be legal for operating a vehicle, they are not acceptable when carrying a firearm. Option B (0.08%) is also incorrect because this is the legal limit for operating a vehicle in Iowa, but it is still illegal to carry a firearm with any level of alcohol in your system. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.00%.
