Question....actually a bunch.

 

If crazy uncle Joe is running around proposing laws that make no sense, what if the idiots down in Trenton decide to treat legally owned firearms like illegal drugs inside a School Zone. I live right on the border of a 'School Zone'. So, if this goofy law is enacted, does my possession of a firearm within a SZ make me lose a Constitutional Right?

 

Also, what is the criteria for a school zone? 500' from where the item is, your front door, your basement safe, your detached garage, as the crow flys or by using the roadway?

 

When doing EP work, we were used to discuss the gray area of driving by a school having a firearm and not even knowing the school was there until it was too late. Think about a convoy with several clients and the event you are attending in a short distance to a school. Had it happen working a gig with the president of Armenia in PA. Flew in, went to a friends house adjacent to a school for a few hours before arriving to our final destination. They just gave us an address when they got into the cars and off we went.

really good question. I assume they would need an exception to being on your own property. Luckily im about 900ft from the school. But you know how that goes it will start as 500ft then go to 1000ft and everyone will fall into it.

And what IS the school zone anyway- the building itself or the farthest outgoing pc of school property such as an athletic field. They can reach out very, very far from the building.

The federal GFSZ is 1000 feet from school property according to the law that has been in force for the last 20 years or so, with minor tweaks I think.

Good point raised...from the school building or a corner of an atheltic field or suppose the school owns a nice chunk of real estate that is undeveloped.

 

My case, I am the first house inside the DFSZ. But, my property line goes back 300' away from the school, So along the side walk might be one thing, but my yard is another...damn useless laws.

I think the GFSZA in effect right now exempts private property. But go look it up yourself, because I am always wrong. If you don't believe that I am always wrong, just ask me about FOPA and I am sure I can satisfy you.

Awesome. I live on a dead end street and the only way out is to drive up to a school and make a right.

Federal law requires handguns and long guns to be locked up within the 1000 foot zone around school property. The law exempts private residences that lie within the 1000 foot zones.

Thank you. Thats a load off my mind.

 

But now I have a question, does that mean a teacher could have one locked in their desk?

If that desk was in their house within 1000 feet of the school sure, but if not then no. Apparently some states have enacted some sort of rules that allow armed school staff. See video below (Texas, figures!):

It also exempts you if you have a carry permit from the state the school is located it.

You don't need a rule to allow it. As long as there is no law against it.
