In Maryland, which of the following locations is a firearm NOT allowed, even with a permit?

  1. State parks

  2. Places of worship

  3. Schools

  4. Private vehicles

The correct answer is: Schools

In Maryland, firearms are not allowed in schools, regardless of whether an individual has a permit. This restriction is in place to ensure the safety of students and staff within educational environments. The law categorically prohibits the carrying of firearms in these locations to minimize the risk of incidents related to gun violence and to maintain a secure learning atmosphere. State parks, places of worship, and private vehicles have specific regulations that can potentially allow for firearms to be present under certain circumstances, especially if the individual has obtained the necessary permits and adheres to relevant laws. However, schools are an exception to this rule and maintain strict policies against the presence of firearms on their premises.
