Under Iowa law, which of the following locations is generally prohibited for carrying firearms?

Public parks
Restaurants that serve alcohol
Schools
All privately owned businesses unless prohibited

The correct answer is: Schools

In Iowa, carrying firearms is generally prohibited in schools, which is why this answer is correct. Schools are sensitive areas where the presence of firearms can pose risks to the safety of students and staff. The law reflects a strong stance on keeping educational environments secure, thus making it illegal for individuals to carry firearms on school property. Public parks and restaurants that serve alcohol have specific regulations regarding firearms, which may allow for carrying in certain circumstances. Additionally, the rules surrounding privately owned businesses can vary, as owners can choose to permit or prohibit weapons on their property, making that answer less restrictive than schools.
