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

  1. Public parks

  2. Schools

  3. Private businesses that allow firearms

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Schools

In Massachusetts, it is indeed illegal to carry a firearm in schools, regardless of whether you have a License to Carry. The laws are quite stringent when it comes to firearms on school grounds, as they are designed to protect students and staff from potential threats. This prohibition extends to all public and private K-12 schools, as well as pre-schools and daycare centers. While it might be assumed that a License to Carry could allow individuals to carry in certain places, the law specifically outlines schools as locations where firearms are not permitted. This reflects a broader commitment to maintaining safe learning environments, which is a priority in legislation around firearms. In comparison, public parks generally allow for carrying firearms with the correct licensing, and private businesses may have their own policies regarding firearms on their premises, meaning they can permit such activities if they choose.
