The correct answer is: Schools

In Washington, DC, it is illegal to carry a firearm, even with a license, on school grounds. This restriction is in place to ensure the safety of students, teachers, and staff within school premises. Carrying a firearm in schools is strictly prohibited by law to prevent any potential incidents or accidents that could arise from having firearms present in educational institutions. While carrying a firearm in parks or private businesses is allowed under certain conditions and with required permits, schools remain off-limits to individuals carrying firearms, even those with licenses. This is why the correct answer is B.
