What is the penalty for carrying a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Iowa?

  1. Mandatory rehabilitation

  2. Revocation of firearms permit

  3. Criminal charges

  4. A fine

The correct answer is: Criminal charges

Carrying a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious offense and is considered a criminal act in the state of Iowa. This means that the penalty for this offense would involve facing criminal charges, rather than any of the other options listed. This is because it is a dangerous and irresponsible act that poses a threat to public safety. Option A, mandatory rehabilitation, may be required as part of the punishment for the criminal charges. Option B, revocation of firearms permit, may be a consequence in addition to facing criminal charges. Option D, a fine, may also be included as part of the overall penalty for this offense.
