Carrying a handgun in Maryland without a permit is a serious offense and can result in a fine and up to 3 years in prison. Option A, a fine of up to $1,000, is not as severe as the correct answer and may be applicable for less serious offenses. Option B, up to 30 days in jail, is not as severe as the correct answer and may be applicable for first-time offenders. Option D, community service, is not a likely penalty for carrying a handgun without a permit and is not as severe as the correct answer. It is important to note that penalties may vary depending on the circumstances and prior convictions. It is always best to seek legal advice if you are facing charges for carrying a handgun without a permit in Maryland.
