Which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a concealed firearm in Iowa, even with a permit?

Restaurants
Public parks
Schools
Bars

The correct answer is: Schools

In Iowa, it is illegal to carry a concealed firearm in schools, regardless of whether you possess a permit. The law recognizes educational institutions as sensitive environments where the presence of firearms could pose significant risks to safety and security. This restriction aims to protect students, staff, and visitors in these locations. The other options, while they may have specific regulations or restrictions, do not have a blanket prohibition against carrying concealed firearms with a permit. For instance, there are certain guidelines regarding carrying in bars, such as being prohibited from carrying when consuming alcohol, but that does not mean carrying is outright illegal. Similarly, restaurants and public parks have their own regulations but do not completely ban concealed carry with a permit.
