limeylad Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun-Free_School_Zones_Act_of_1990 Since this law is still on the books am I likely going to get myself in trouble if I carry a gun while out for my evening walk? I never go on to actual school property but I'm sure within the 1000' restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coqui33 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) We are on our way back home (to Florida) from vacation in Utah. As far as I could tell, in Utah, CCW in schools is okay, but church posted gun-free zones have the force of law. In Florida it's the opposite.

TeaDub Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 From your link, section (ii) says this is an exception: "(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;" A good reason to obtain a license even in a Constitutional Carry state. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueiron Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Can you get into trouble? Certainly. Will you get into trouble? That's the conundrum that only you can answer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMyers Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 You have to check with the state you reside in. This Federal law is written with a a provision to allow states/local governments to override the requirements. Some states allow licensed carry conceal holders to carry on school grounds, others allow you to carry on school grounds and in buildings. So, know your local/state laws concerning this bill. In Illinois, the 1,000 feet rule has been tossed in courts and the FCCL allows you to carry within the 1,000 feet. It does not allow you to carry in school buildings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Virginia and "school property" is off limits for CCW. State laws vary greatly from one to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the U of MN to visit with my Grand Daughter. Before I went, I looked up my state law on CCW on the University property. I was pleasantly surprised that as a legal CCW permit carrier, I could carry on the school grounds. However, students and any employee of the University was prohibited. As said above: Check your state laws. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshe Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I have a retired badge. I carry concealed if I have to pick up my kids. I keep my TXDL and CHL (Now called LTC) in there as well. They always ask or your DL, prudently, when you come to get your kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Unknown Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) I lived about 2 blocks form a catholic school, and I open carried as I walked by it, but I generally waited until school was out. The law is garbage, and it is a legacy of President Clinton and his yard apes. If you ever get arrested, challenge the law, and you will win; it is unenforceable.

Mrs.Cicero Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Depends on your state. Here, I can be on school property in my vehicle carrying concealed, but if I get out of the vehicle, the gun cannot come along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U of M if not a student or employee but with a valid CCW permit, no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my goals in life is not to become case law. Can be quite expensive and outcome not certain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drives him nuts that he can't carry there, but I can when I stop by for lunch with him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One needs courage to do certain things, and if you have found that you don't have it, OK. Edited July 23, 2019 by Suspect Unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will have 8 years of making sure my little girl is okay, before she can get her CHL of her own. Then she and her G-19, XD .45 mod 2 can take care of herself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
