Under Massachusetts law, which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a firearm, even with a License to Carry?

State Parks
Public Schools
Private property where signs are posted prohibiting firearms
All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

In Massachusetts, there are specific places where it is illegal to carry a firearm, regardless of whether an individual has a License to Carry. This includes public schools, where the law strictly prohibits firearms on school grounds due to the sensitive environment and the need to ensure the safety of students and staff. Additionally, carrying firearms in state parks can also be illegal under certain circumstances, particularly when these areas have restrictions. Furthermore, private property owners have the authority to establish their own rules regarding firearms. If a property owner posts signs prohibiting firearms, individuals must adhere to this prohibition, even if they possess a License to Carry. Understanding these regulations is important for responsible gun ownership and ensuring compliance with the law in Massachusetts. The comprehensive nature of these restrictions emphasizes the need for awareness of one’s environment and the rights of property owners in relation to firearms.
