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

  1. 0.00%

  2. 0.02%

  3. 0.08%

  4. No limit is specified

The correct answer is: 0.02%

While it may seem logical that the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit while carrying a firearm would be 0.00%, this is not the case in Iowa. As a responsible gun owner, it is important to not consume any alcohol before or while in possession of a firearm. However, Iowa law specifies that the legal BAC limit while carrying a firearm is 0.02%. This limit is significantly lower than the standard 0.08% BAC limit for operating a vehicle, as any impairment in judgement or motor skills can be dangerous while carrying a firearm. It is important to always handle firearms responsibly and to refrain from consuming alcohol while in possession of a firearm.
