1. If one was carrying a pistol in an object such as a duffel bag, backpack, or briefcase on their person, would they require an Concealed Carry Permit to do so?

2. Let's say you keep a sidearm in your glovebox, and your teenage son or daughter is driving the family vehicle that day. They are attacked while in town, and defend themselves successfully with the handgun. Or maybe they are alone at home when a burglary occurs, and the same thing occurs. Would there be legal difficulties to a minor having done so?

3. A firearm accident occurs, and someone is wounded or killed. Is the person who caused the accident liable for manslaughter charges?

4. In the course of a defensive shooting, a round from your firearm either misses or overpenetrates the adversary and hits an innocent bystander. Legal penalties?
