Which is an element of the offense 'use/display of a firearm in the commission of a felony'?

• A. The firearm must be a pistol.
• B. Use, attempt to use, or display in a threatening manner.
• C. It must occur during daylight.
• D. The offender must be a convicted felon.

Answer: (B)

The key element being tested is the conduct involving the firearm during the felony. The offense is met when a person uses, attempts to use, or displays a firearm in a threatening manner while committing the felony. This captures the distinctive act that turns a felony into a firearm-enhanced offense—the firearm-related conduct itself, not the firearm’s type, the time of day, or the offender’s prior criminal status.

The other ideas aren’t required elements: the statute doesn’t limit the firearm to a pistol, doesn’t require daylight, and doesn’t require the offender to be a felon prior to the act.
