What is the penalty for carrying a handgun in Maryland without a permit?

A warning for the first offense
A fine
Mandatory community service
Possible imprisonment

The correct answer is: Possible imprisonment

Carrying a handgun without a permit in Maryland is considered a serious offense and can result in imprisonment. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the severity of the offense. A warning is not typically given for this type of offense and a fine or community service would likely be too lenient of a punishment. Additionally, it's important to note that the punishment may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the offense and the discretion of the judge.
