Q: Carrying a handgun, whether openly or concealed, is prohibited unless one has a permit to carry a handgun or is on their own property or their own place of business. The Maryland State Police may issue a permit to carry a handgun at their discretion and based on an investigation. In practice, very few applicants are granted carry permits, and approval typically requires the applicant to provide proof of a clear and imminent threat on his or her life. For example, police reports submitted by an applicant documenting a recent assault, attempted kidnapping, carjacking, or home invasion, particularly when the assailant remains at-large, have generally been accepted as sufficient ''good reason'' for issuance of a carry permit. If the State Police deny the permit application, the applicant may appeal the denial to the Handgun Permit Review Board. The review board, staffed by gubernatorial appointees, has the discretion to grant or deny an appeal on a case-by-case basis. Permits are not automatically renewed, and the permit-holder must justify the continued need for the permit when applying for renewal. Out of a total population of 6 million, there were 14,298 active carry permits as of April 2014. No permit is required to openly carry a rifle or shotgun in Maryland.
Can we conclude that can you open carry a rifle in maryland?

Q: The acre is a unit of land area used in the imperial and US customary systems. It is traditionally defined as the area of one chain by one furlong (66 by 660 feet), which is exactly equal to of a square mile, or 43,560 square feet, and approximately 4,047 m, or about 40% of a hectare.
Can we conclude that is an acre bigger than a square mile?
OPTIONS:
- no
- yes
A: no

Q: Jacaranda is a genus of 49 species of flowering plants in the family Bignoniaceae, native to tropical and subtropical regions of Mexico, Central America, South America, Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and the Bahamas.
Can we conclude that is the jacaranda tree native to south africa?
OPTIONS:
- no
- yes
A: no

Q: The medullary ascending limb is impermeable to water. Sodium (Na), potassium (K) and chloride (Cl) ions are reabsorbed by active transport. K is passively transported along its concentration gradient through a K leak channel in the apical aspect of the cells, back into the lumen of the ascending limb. This K ''leak'' generates a positive electrochemical potential difference in the lumen. This drives more paracellular reabsorption of Na, as well as other cations such as magnesium (Mg) and importantly calcium Ca due to charge repulsion.
Can we conclude that is the thick ascending limb permeable to water?
OPTIONS:
- no
- yes
A:
no
