Private Patrol Operator Practice Test

Is holding an FQ card sufficient to carry any firearms of smaller calibers than those listed?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only with special permission

4. Only for law enforcement personnel

The correct answer is: No

Holding an FQ card is not sufficient to carry any firearms of smaller calibers than those listed on the card. An FQ card indicates that an individual is authorized to carry specified firearms, and each firearm must be explicitly listed and authorized under the conditions set by the issuing authority. This means that even if the caliber of a firearm is smaller than those listed on an individual's FQ card, the individual cannot legally carry or possess that firearm without explicit permission or an appropriate license. Each firearm, regardless of caliber, must fall within the guidelines established for ownership and carrying, and not all firearms can be carried under the same authorization. This regulation helps ensure that individuals are trained and authorized for the specific firearms they carry, promoting safety and responsible firearm handling.
