New gun rules for schools and campuses
Beginning November 1, 2025, you cannot carry into public or private K–12 schools. A private school may allow licensed carry on its property or buses if it adopts a policy; it is immune from liability for injuries from adopting the policy, except for gross negligence, willful or wanton misconduct, and workers’ compensation claims. A school board may let specific staff carry on campus only if they hold a valid armed security guard license or reserve peace officer certification. You may keep a firearm in a school parking area if it is locked, hidden from view, and left in a locked motor vehicle when unattended; motorcycles must use a locked accessory container. On college and technology‑center property, licensed carriers generally cannot carry, except in parking areas with the locked‑vehicle rule, places the school’s policy allows, or with written consent carried with you. If a college reports a licensee violation to OSBI within 10 days and OSBI confirms it after a hearing, the licensee faces a $250 administrative fine and a three‑month license suspension.
Public carry: new bans and allowances
Beginning November 1, 2025, you cannot carry into government buildings used for public business; courthouses, courtrooms, jails, or detention sites; publicly owned sports arenas during pro events; places with legal gambling; or event areas with all three security features (8‑foot fence, staffed checkpoints, metal detectors). You may carry on public and government parking areas, on property next to banned buildings, and in parks, wildlife areas, and fairgrounds, but not inside prohibited buildings or secured events. Concealed handguns are allowed in municipal zoos and parks run by a public trust or nonprofit; open carry is not. At permitted public events without those security features, concealed carry is allowed unless the permit holder says no. Cities can let people carry concealed handguns in their own buildings, except in places the law still bans, and property controllers cannot add extra bans where state law allows carry.
On-duty carry for judges and local officials
Beginning November 1, 2025, peace officers and others allowed by law may carry while doing their official jobs. District and special judges with a valid handgun license who are on the Administrative Director of the Courts’ list may carry while working inside courthouses in their county; municipal judges with a valid license may carry while working in their municipal courthouses. Elected county officials with a valid handgun license may carry concealed while doing official duties in their county courthouse; no one may carry into a courtroom. A sheriff may authorize licensed county employees to carry concealed in the courthouse while working and may require extra training; they still may not carry into courtrooms, the sheriff’s office, jails, or detention areas. A county board may authorize licensed county employees to carry on county annex facilities or on courthouse grounds while working. Elected municipal officials and governing‑body‑approved municipal employees with a valid license may carry concealed inside municipal buildings while on duty. No one is required to carry a firearm as a condition of public service. Private investigators with firearms authorization may carry while acting in the course and scope of their employment.
Fines for breaking location rules
Beginning November 1, 2025, a conviction for the listed courthouse, jail, or school violations is a misdemeanor with a fine up to $250. For other prohibited‑location violations, you can be denied entry or removed. If you refuse to leave and an officer is called, you may get a citation up to $250.
