I think I might be getting too comfortable with CC

Today I almost took my CC to a parent teacher conference.:eek: Even after I realized I needed to take it off, for a second, I had to think about just why I was leaving it behind.
 
I've done that before, I had to turn around and go back to the car after I opened the door to the school, but I didn't walk in.
 
I walk my dog on the grounds of a high school near my home (after school hours). I have been doing this for years. I hadn't even thought about the fact that I had a gun in my pocket until I read the sign on the door yesterday. oops
 
It's legal here, in fact.... they cannot restrict carry on any 'grounds' , only buildings... and only if all entrances / exits of the building is posted per the AG requirements.

Only 1 school out of about 15 here, is posted.

If the State licenses the person and performs a background in the licensing of the person, and if the State "allows" it , then they are exempted from the Fedl Law in carry a gun at schools.

And as expected, there have been ZERO problems or incidences related to it.

What's ironic is, every single city building is posted.
 
State and Federal...

Now, please everyone must get to know their specific State laws pertaining to firearms on "school" grounds...

Also note that there is a Federal law as well so something to research...



I just love those that post...
It's legal here, in fact.... they cannot restrict carry on any 'grounds' , only buildings... and only if all entrances / exits of the building is posted per the AG requirements.

What State?
 
Don't even go there.... believe me , we know the LAWS here quite well.

Kansas.. Check out SB306 as well on numerous changes in the statutes, if you are really interested.

And .... try actually reading the Federal law....
http://trac.syr.edu/laws/18/18USC00922.html

(2)(A) It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to
possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects
interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual
knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.
(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a
firearm -
(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
(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;


Kansas references (AG site): http://www.ksag.org/files/2010_Summary_SB306_-_Website2.pdf

A major change with SB 306 and the 75-7c10 listed locations is that the ability to post has been explicitly limited to the building(s) of those locations. See, new subsection (d)(defining “building”). Parking lots, like the changes brought about by 2007’s HB 2528, are now expressly not allowed to be posted by the property owners/managers.

My Note: HB2528, made it not only that businesses or Companies could not post parking lots, but cities, towns, etc. could not post any common grounds, parks, etc. as well .... "only buildings". And they must be posted in the manner , location and signage requirements spelled out by the Atty Gen.

further down (AG site) :

KSA 21-4204
A new paragraph (5) of subsection (b) generally exempts persons licensed under the Kansas Personal and Family Protection Act from the firearm prohibitions relating to K through 12th grade school property or grounds. Licensees can still violate KSA 75-7c10 if they carry into a posted K-12 school building.


(last sentence refers to the section IF IT IS POSTED & what a LEGAL posting is... prescribed signage, etc. ).


Any more questions ?? Let me know. Just don't always assume someone is stupid or doesn't know what they are talking about, just because you don't know about it.

I JUST LOVE IT , when people jump in assuming they know more than anyone else.... and do it while being a smartass about it, and are wrong.
Everyone with any intelligence, needs to be very familiar with the laws of their State.

Huh... Really you are offended?

Now to the posters above...

What state are you talking about? I don't see that you have listed a state on your profile...

When the post was made... no where on the profile nor in the thread did it state what state they were talking about... Sorry but I left my crystal ball at work...

So, I suggested folks know their state laws. Well, I now know you are talking about Kansas... now you must also know that there are 49 other states plus some districts that have completely different laws... oh my gosh... different then Kansas!

What a joke.

My point of all this was that folks need to know their specific state laws... I'm sure there are a lot of folks not from Kansas!

Also the main point to Eagleks: either put a location in their post or ... can you believe it - put it on your profile so we know what state area you are talking about as this covers both state and federal laws. Each state handles it differently...

Like did you know that in Washington State with a Washington CPL one can drop off and pick up their child?


Look I can post a long as needless post about Washington State... since you live in Kansas - I'm sure it's really pertains to Kansas...

I more took your point to be , a sarcastic "sure , right it's legal" type of comment .... implying it's not legal anywhere. Also "read" the Fedl Law, to me implied, that you thought it was purely illegal anywhere and had never actually read the Fedl law to know that is not accurate at all.

Second, you asked for "proof" , now you have it.

EagleKS... catch the KS.... Kansas. You should also notice the OP does not note where they are in their profile either, so I had no idea where they are from .... then a Seattle and Ohio. So, what related this only to Washington ??

Also, in the laws and links shown, I think I made that quite clear it's Kansas.

The point I posted what I did was, so many people are afraid if people carried in schools..... bad things would happen. Where it is legal, such as here, there have been no incidents as a result.... and maybe, you should be working on your Legislature to change it .

It's NOT a given, that's it's illegal nor that the Fedl Law requires it. .... which a lot of people think the Fedl Law blanketly makes it illegal and that's that. It isn't.

If you want to talk only a "local ' issue, then don't put it on a forum that's National in orientation, so that people can share what it is in some locales vs others, or states vs others.

Sometimes, showing where a "law" has been successful in allowing CC in another locale or State, has been used to show there have been no incidents and that the fears are "unfounded" and it's been convincing to get others, in other states, to change theirs. Tennessee comes to mind, when they argued about carrying in bars, and showing states where it was legal and there had been no serious incidents related to it.

Carrying in bars is also legal here if it is not "posted", and there have been no incidents as a result there either.

It's just amazing that law abiding citizens, stay law abiding citizens, even when they are at a school, or in a bar .

Never intended to create a heated debate. My only point was that I almost broke the law because I have gotten used to CC most places I go. I am in Iowa and it is against the law to CC to a parent teacher conference.
 
Man you could cut the tension in here with a Fully Automatic Thompson.;)

I walked into a hospital to see my father-in-law that just had surgery the other day. They have posted signs that they do not allow guns on the premices, this was in Kansas. To my understanding of Kansas law, it is illegal for me to walk in that building armed. Now the signs were your typical gun with crossed circle over it, not the official sign with 2" letters.

I just went in anyway. No problem was had. I was nervous the entire time I was in there though and kind of regretted that I didn't turn around and put my guns in the car.

Although, when my wife and I left, her mother came with us and we went out to eat. She has no idea that I carry and I want to keep it that way. If my guns were in the car, I would have had to find a clever way to arm myself once we went out to eat.
 
I was joking, but since you brought it up: it came off that you didn't believe Eagleks. It wasn't the location question, it was the first part of your post. If you deny it, I'd take your word for it. All the best. Also, I wasn't offended- not sure if that part was directed at eagle or me. wasn't trying to get caught in the middle over a little fun...
 
Just because things can get testy, doesn't mean people reach for a gun. I think typically, people who go thru all of the efforts to get a CC and the reasons for it, aren't going to be shooting people because they got ticked off.

It also doesn't mean people aren't carrying guns folks, it just means it's not the people who have a CC license, who do obey the laws and carry for self-defense purposes. With the school shootings in the USA that have occurred, not one has been committed by a CC person, in fact it's due to folks like that we should be carrying.
