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

Public parks
Restaurants serving alcohol
School property
Places of worship

The correct answer is: School property

Carrying a concealed firearm on school property is prohibited in Maryland, regardless of whether one possesses a concealed carry permit. This law is in place to enhance safety in educational environments, as schools are particularly sensitive settings where the presence of firearms can pose significant risks to students, staff, and visitors. Additionally, while the other locations listed may have specific restrictions or regulations around concealed carry, none universally prohibit it in all circumstances as school property does. For instance, carrying in restaurants serving alcohol may have conditions, and while places of worship may have policies against firearms, they are not blanket prohibitions like those enforced at schools. Public parks also have specific provisions that can allow for concealed carry under certain conditions.
