What is the legal blood alcohol limit for an individual carrying a firearm in West Virginia?

0.00%
0.02%
0.08%
0.10%

The correct answer is: 0.08%

In West Virginia, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for carrying a firearm aligns with the general standard for operating a motor vehicle. The legal limit is set at 0.08%. This means that individuals with a BAC below this threshold are permitted to carry firearms, provided they meet all other legal requirements for carrying and using a firearm in the state. Understanding this limit is crucial for firearm owners and carry permit holders, as exceeding it not only impairs one’s ability to safely handle a firearm, but can also lead to legal repercussions such as charges related to both firearm and DUI laws. Maintaining a BAC at or below this level ensures compliance with regulations while promoting safety in gun handling and usage.
