Which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a concealed firearm in Massachusetts, even with an LTC?

  1. Public parks

  2. Banks

  3. Schools

  4. State forests

The correct answer is: Schools

Carrying a concealed firearm in schools is illegal in Massachusetts, irrespective of whether an individual possesses a License to Carry (LTC). The law specifically designates schools as gun-free zones to ensure the safety of students and staff. This prohibition applies to all school properties, including the grounds and any buildings associated with the educational institution. In contrast, while the other locations listed have restrictions or specific regulations regarding firearm carry, they do not share the same blanket prohibition as schools. For instance, public parks and state forests may have certain limitations but do not outright ban concealed carry with an LTC, and banks often have their own policies but are not categorized in the same manner as schools under Massachusetts law.
