Concealed carry permits allow citizens to lawfully carry weapons for protection and other reasons. Nevertheless, it’s essential to acknowledge certain places where concealing a weapon is specifically forbidden. Failure to heed these warnings may result in confiscation of the weapon, legal issues, and possible charges. Keep in mind: Always comply with local, state, or national regulations:

  1. Public Institutions

    • Schools: By and large, universities and elementary, middle, or high schools do not allow concealed carry.
    • Colleges: Check university regulations for individual policies. Many permit concealed carry in specified areas or under approved guidelines.
    • Daycares and childcare facilities
    • Prisons
  2. Restaurants, Bars, and Gaming Establishments

    • Unless you have received prior approval or notification about their specific concealed carry policies.
    • Be sure to follow guidelines on prohibited items.
  3. Shopping Centers, Malls, and Outlets

    • Malls are not inherently ‘gun-free’ but generally restrict the practice of open or concealed carry. If you need a firearm in an establishment within the mall, find specific security permission or leave your weapon elsewhere.
    • Department stores
    • Small stores with high-risk demographics or volatile customer relations.
  4. Court and Justice Systems

    • Courtrooms, jail areas, or detention centers may ban weapons entirely for public safety concerns.
  5. Secure Government-Federal Installations

    • National government offices: Congressional, senatorial, and state house facilities normally limit access due to specific policies or procedures.
  6. Armed Security Guard Posts and Law Enforcement Vehicles

    • Military facilities: Keep away from weapons to respect active zones. Ask before bringing one with explicit intent for military-approved transport and use in appropriate designated zones.
      Restricted or Limited Areas: Within schools, some colleges, museums, healthcare providers, banks, public services like courts and administrative zones are considered "sensitive zones." The carrying and discharge of concealed weapons under most jurisdictions requires authorization beforehand for lawfully entering a private office.
