Which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a firearm in New Hampshire?

  1. State parks

  2. Federal buildings

  3. Bars and restaurants

  4. Private vehicles

The correct answer is: Federal buildings

In New Hampshire, it is illegal to carry a firearm in federal buildings. This restriction is in place due to federal laws and regulations that prohibit carrying firearms in federal facilities for security reasons. Carrying a firearm in federal buildings can lead to serious legal consequences, so it is important for gun owners to be aware of and abide by this restriction. The other locations listed in the choices also have regulations related to carrying firearms, but they are not universally illegal to carry a firearm in. State parks may have specific regulations regarding firearms, but they are not blanket restrictions in the entire state. Bars and restaurants may have policies about carrying firearms, but it is not an outright ban in New Hampshire. Private vehicles generally allow gun owners to transport firearms as long as they are following state laws regarding transportation and storage.
