The Gun Free School Zones law makes it illegal to possess a firearm within 1000 feet of a school.
I've looked around at internet sites, but I get conflicting info, or at least I don't interpret the info correctly.
Has the US Supreme Court ruled on this law?
Does the law make it illegal to have a gun within 1000 feet of a school building or within 1000 feet of the edge of school property, including public roads?
Is it illegal to drive through a school zone with a gun in your car, even if it's secured in accordance with state law?
I ask beacuse there are only two roads in my area that lead from my house into town. The "main" road has a school right next to it. The other road has a school under construction.
Am I going to have to take a 2 hour drive in the opposite direction just get to the local ranges which are less than 25 minutes away?
What's the deal?
