Which act authorizes Coast Guard personnel to carry a firearm at a facility?

• A. Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004
• B. Department of Homeland Security Act
• C. National Defense Authorization Act
• D. Federal Firearms Act

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how specific legislation authorizes armed security for Coast Guard personnel at facilities. The Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004 explicitly grants this authority, allowing Coast Guard personnel to carry firearms at facilities to enhance security. The other acts cover different areas: the Department of Homeland Security Act reorganized DHS and oversees broad structural authority, the National Defense Authorization Act deals with defense policy and funding, and the Federal Firearms Act regulates firearms in general but does not grant armed authority to Coast Guard personnel at facilities.
