Which of the following places is it illegal to carry a firearm in Massachusetts, even with a license?

Public parks
Banks
Schools
Bars

The correct answer is: Schools

Carrying a firearm in schools is illegal in Massachusetts, regardless of whether an individual possesses a license. This strict prohibition is rooted in efforts to ensure the safety and security of students and staff within educational environments. Schools are designated as sensitive areas where the presence of firearms is particularly restricted to prevent potential tragedies and promote a safe learning atmosphere. Public parks, banks, and bars may have their own regulations regarding the carrying of firearms, but they do not carry the same blanket prohibition as schools. In fact, some of these locations might allow firearms under specific circumstances or require additional permissions.
