Going by memory, the usual suspects. Sporting events, parades, schools, State or Federal offices. We recently moved and I went in the local post office yesterday for the first time. They had a metal detector at the door!
Where can't you carry in your state?

Basically the entire city making a permit essentially useless, but there are probably at least a few enclaves here or there where one of these restrictions don’t apply. How you get to them without going through one of the prohibited places is the real mystery.
1) anywhere if you have consumed alcohol or are impaired
2) any building occupied by the dc government or one of its agency’s (seems worse once you realize dmv has an office in a shopping mall and there is a traffic court in the same building as a fedex)
3) childcare facilities schools university’s ect and their grounds and adjacent parking lots.
4) hospitals, doctors offices ect.
5) prisons halfway house juvi ect.
6) polling place when there is voting going on (another one that is way more broad than it seems)
7) all public transit including the stations. (Guess you better have a car)
8) bars, resultants, other places where alcohol is sold and consumed
9) stadiums
10) any public gatherings where the organizers say your not allowed to even if it’s in public and open to the public.
11) basically all the stuff you want to see on capital hill (mall, capital building, tidal basin, memorials and grounds, ect)
12) a certain distance around the white house
13) just outside the naval observatory (you would have to double check but i think it includes the sidewalk)
14) within 1000ft of any government official or foreign dignitary being transported by a law enforcement motorcade (secret service, mpd, capitol police ect)
15) within 1000ft of any demonstration happening in a public place.
16) on private residential property with out first getting the permission of the owner
17) church’s, synagogs, temples other places of worship ect
18) any property where there is a sign posted saying no guns (there are specific rules about this I don’t know what they are)

NY is getting ready to sign into law that you can’t carry into an establishment unless the have signage posted stating you can.
In other words, even if the store, for example, doesn’t care if you are carrying, if there is no sign stating you can then you can’t.

You can bet that any sort of criminal activity by a permit holder will get huge press, while any act of goodness by a permit holder will get none.

This is huge, they are effectively banning carry in any retail establishment. I think it also applies to residences if you do not ask and are given permission.
Downstate NY, being what it is, any store posting they allow guns, other than gun stores, will probably lose business and be picketed.

Well, it took 100 years or so for the populace to swallow the Sullivan Act (and its functional equivalents in other states) hook, line, and sinker. We have to assume that it might take a while for them to accept the opposite position: wide-spread concealed carry.
This is what happens whenever a population is denied a civil right. Folks start thinking that the right that has been denied isn't important. If there is any lesson to be learned from what NY, NJ, CA, HI, etc. will be experiencing on this issue it is we cannot take a day off in our defense of civil rights. Especially 2A rights.

Also you have to notify homeowners when you enter their home, or did when I lived there a number of years ago.

When I go hunting in the National Forest I can't have bullets in my hunting gun while on the roads. But I can have them in my concealed carry weapon. Not sure about my open carry weapon on the roads, but I've started carrying a 1911 in .45 ACP open carry while hunting because some of my fellow Texans hunting the national forests are a little touched in the head at times. Plus I want to quick draw on a sounder of rampaging hogs just once, even if I get trampled.
Other than that, can't carry the usual places. But as they say its easier to ask forgiveness than permission and rules don't seem to stop the criminals here in Houston.

NY is planning for new restrictions, vote any minute. Violation will be a felony, up to 4 years prison time.
From a NY Times article:
"Legislative leaders and the governor appeared to have reached an agreement on a list of locations where guns would be banned: health care facilities, including nursing homes and domestic violence shelters; houses of worship; colleges and universities; places where children gather, such as day care centers, playgrounds, parks and zoos; public transportation; places where alcohol or cannabis is consumed; and theaters, arenas, concerts, casinos and other entertainment venues.
Under the plan being considered, carrying a weapon in a prohibited area would amount to a felony punishable by up to four years in prison."

I'm taking a carry class as we speak (listening online) for Minnesota and they made a really questionable claim: any facility that ever accepted Federal funds are prohibited for carry, e.g., any hospital, even including a rest room in a state park that was built using Federal funds. Not sure how I'm supposed to know such a thing--do I do a title search before I use the rest room? Since it's online, I can't ask for a citation but I wonder if anyone has ever heard of such a thing?
It seems like it would apply in any other state too and I've never heard of such a thing before. I will email them and we'll see if they actually get back to me.

yeah banning carry on public transportation is a big gotcha especially in cities. It’s a huge blow to 2a rights.

That sounds kinda fishy to me. Are there any national parks in Minnesota? I'm asking because I know I can legally carry in Yellowstone National Park, and the whole darned park is federally funded. Maybe it's just illegal for me to carry in the restrooms and hospitals (if there are any) when I visit Yellowstone, huh?

In Ohio it's the usual government buildings. But you carry in restrooms of said buildings if they have access to which you don't go into the main lobby. Hospitals are off limits to carry, I'm quite sure.
Establishments that post the no weapons sign have to pursue it through the courts. LE don't cite you for it. And IIRC, it's a 4th class misdemeanor.
As long as one doesn't consume alcohol, you can carry in liquor establishments.
I believe it is up the each college/university to determine if they allow carry.
I may have missed some.

In Czech - only places whant can legally prohibit you to enter with concealed are goverment buildings, BUTthere they are obligated to store your gun until you finish the visit
In private buildings and places, they can ask you to leave, refuse you to enter or serve you. Its same principle as if they dont want you to enter with ice cream, with kinda same consequences

That’s the same situation when my wife enters a single, specific movie theater, to watch a Live Broadcast (via satellite) of opera from the NY Met. Opera.
The staff tries to look for food in customers’ shopping bags!
—-They know that older people watching opera Don’t carry guns,
but the Snack Food they carry can cost the theater Profit !

In good'ol PA you can carry ANYWHERE that isn't federally restricted (or has metal detectors)! That includes carrying in churches, bars, public transport, and even on college campuses (assuming you're not a student, in which case they can expel you or something... but it's not illegal in PA).
I love PA for this reason! I don't understand states that deny people the right of self defense, just because they are in a certian place... usually a place where it would most likely be needed as well!
