What is NOT a location where carrying firearms is prohibited in Iowa, even with a permit?

Schools
Banks
Courthouses
Private property without signage

The correct answer is: Private property without signage

In Iowa, carrying firearms is indeed regulated by law, and certain locations are designated as prohibited zones, regardless of whether an individual possesses a permit. Schools, banks, and courthouses are examples of such locations where firearms are not allowed, even for those with a permit. Private property without signage, however, is not considered a prohibited location for carrying firearms. In fact, property owners in Iowa have the right to determine whether or not firearms can be carried on their property, and if there is no signage indicating that firearms are not allowed, individuals with permits may carry their firearms legally on that property. This reflects the state's recognition of private property rights and the autonomy of property owners to set their own rules regarding firearms on their premises. Therefore, this option accurately represents a situation where carrying firearms is still permissible.
