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

State parks
Banks
Schools
Both A and C

The correct answer is: Schools

Carrying a firearm in schools is explicitly prohibited in New Jersey, even if a person has a permit. This law is designed to create a safe environment for students and educational personnel, recognizing the need to minimize potential risks in areas where vulnerable populations gather. The restrictions are part of broader measures aimed at preventing gun violence in educational settings. While other locations, such as certain state parks, may have their own regulations regarding firearms, the strict prohibition of firearms in schools is clear and enforced. Additionally, banks have specific security regulations but typically do not fall under the same stringent prohibitions as educational institutions. Thus, the law clearly identifies schools as a location where carrying a firearm, regardless of permit status, is illegal.
