What is true about a PPL (Private Possession License)?

A Private Possession License (PPL) is specifically designed to allow individuals the legal authority to carry firearms in certain circumstances, typically in a professional capacity or while fulfilling job-related duties. This license generally restricts firearms carrying to when the holder is on duty. The rationale behind this regulation is to ensure that individuals who carry firearms do so in a controlled and responsible manner, primarily linked to their job responsibilities.

The notion that the PPL only applies while on duty is rooted in the understanding that those individuals may be in positions where they need to carry a firearm for protection or enforcement related to their professional roles. This ensures that the carrying of firearms is tied directly to the nature of their employment, thereby emphasizing accountability and the proper use of firearms in a work-related context.

Other options do not hold true under typical guidelines for a PPL. The focus of the PPL is on professional contexts and does not extend to unlimited firearm carrying or authorization for concealed carry outside the scope of duty.
