There have been at least three fatal attacks at libraries in the last nine years.
Libraries near me are gun-free defenseless victim zones. Why? Because they are run by Leftists who wouldn't "feel safe" if people were allowed to defend themselves. So they feel safe, but they are not safe.
Chico, California, is about an 85 mile drive north of Sacramento.
The suspect shot a man at the entrance of the library in the leg and then shot him in the head before firing multiple shots inside and shooting another man in the head, said Sid Patel, special agent in charge in the FBI’s Sacramento office.

Now I don't have a definitive source, but I do have AI (qwen3.5-9b) running locally. I asked, "Is concealed carry allowed in the library at Chico, California?"
No, concealed carry is generally not allowed inside the public libraries in Chico, California.
Here are the specific details regarding the law and policies:
- Chico Public Library Policy
The Chico Public Library system operates under a strict "Gun-Free Zone" policy. Like many municipal libraries in California, their Rules of Conduct prohibit weapons or firearms on library premises. This is enforced through posted signage upon entering the building. Violating this policy can result in the individual being removed from the property and potentially having their firearm confiscated.
- California State Law
- Sensitive Public Places: Under California Penal Code, certain locations are designated as "Sensitive Public Places" where carrying a concealed weapon is prohibited by law. While libraries are not always explicitly listed in the state statute like schools or hospitals, the library building itself can designate itself as an exclusion zone if proper signage is posted and local ordinances support it.
- Local Ordinances: Chico City and Butte County laws generally respect these facility-specific prohibitions. A valid Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit allows you to carry in many public spaces, but it does not grant immunity against specific venue restrictions where firearms are banned by policy or signage.
I'm shocked that a policy "enforced through posted signage" at the entrance didn't stop a bad guy.
While in many locations in Kali it IS possible to get a CCW...after jumping through MANY hoops and waiting as long as a year the permit itself is not particularly useful as almost ALL public venues in Kali prohibit CCW even with a permit. So aside from on the road in your car and MAYBE some parking lots you really can't legally carry if you aren't a holy chosen badgemonkey.
