I was not aware that the GFSZA allowed an exception if the weapon was transported in that fashion. So there is a way. That must be what the non-LTC holding LEO's do when they drop their kids off at school on their way to work.spectre wrote: ↑Sun Sep 30, 2018 2:20 pmIt's impossible for you to unload the firearm and put it in a locked container while transporting it?Soccerdad1995 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 30, 2018 2:08 pm It would be impossible* for me to get a firearm from the store to my home without transporting that firearm within 1,000 feet of a school.

I would love to see a SCOTUS ruling on the GFSZA because, strictly enforced, it would mean that a significant percentage of the U.S. population could never own a firearm, including many active LEO's.

And the employee was convicted of the infraction and at the time was a max $50 fine. He also lost his job. Chas. mentioned a case where a NASA employee was charged under their regulations and he was charged with the infraction, but won his case because there was not a sign posted.
This stands against the off duty cops without LTC who risk their freedom by being armed in a school zone in violation of a Felony federal statute. And the MPA carriers, and out of state licensees and rifle carrying people etc.
And I do park in Federal parking lots with my firearm in my car, unless I see a sign that purports to prohibit it, which I have not seen yet.
*In fairness I thought of one possible way. I could charter a helicopter and fly over all nearby schools at an altitude of more than 1,000 feet. Then I would need to either airdrop the firearm(s) hoping my aim is true, or rappel down to the ground with them, as there are no suitable landing areas for a helicopter near my house. However, I'm reasonably certain that this would violate at least one other law. Tunneling might be another option.
