- Government Property: When you enter government property, make sure not to have your concealed carry with you. Some government buildings may have a security check, but others may not. Regardless, you have the potential to get into serious trouble if you attempt to concealed carry where you are not meant to.
- Airports: It goes without saying but bringing your concealed carry weapon to the airport is a mistake. There are some areas where it is allowed but attempting to fly with a weapon is not allowed.
