TRUE OR FALSE: If you get charged with violation of Reckless handling of a firearm while hunting or trapping, you may have your hunting license with a firearm revoked for 1 to 5 years.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only If Convicted
• D. Not Allowed

Answer: (A)

Reckless handling of a firearm while hunting or trapping carries serious penalties that can include revoking the hunting license with a firearm for a period of 1 to 5 years. Wildlife or game agencies have the authority to suspend or revoke hunting privileges to protect public safety and ensure safe hunting practices. The 1–5 year duration is a common statutory range for this kind of offense and can be imposed either upon conviction or through administrative action, depending on the jurisdiction. So the statement is true. Some might think revocation only happens after a conviction or that it’s not allowed, but the authority to revoke for unsafe conduct exists and fits within that time frame.
