Where in Iowa is it illegal to carry a firearm, even with a permit?

  1. In a vehicle

  2. In a private residence

  3. In schools

  4. On public streets

The correct answer is: In schools

Carrying a firearm in schools is illegal in Iowa, even for individuals who possess a permit. This restriction is in place to ensure the safety of students and staff within educational environments. Schools are considered sensitive places where the presence of firearms can pose a significant risk. While there are specific regulations and conditions under which firearms can be carried in vehicles and on public streets, and private residences generally allow for the possession of firearms, schools maintain a clear prohibition to prioritize safety in educational settings.
