Yeah the 1,000 foot rule is downright crazy, and impossible for anybody to follow. And in the end for what? If you want to hurt somebody its a far more serious crime than carrying in a GFZ, do you think a minor infraction will stop somebody hell-bent on a major one?

Let’s hope the GFSZ act gets tossed. Of course it’d be hard to get standing for it (are people ever really prosecuted for it – good plaintiff’s at least?)

That’s one law I’d bet money I’ve broken before. It’s damn near impossible not to if you’re OC’ing or carrying on a non-resident permit.

Well this victory certainly makes those laws open to challenge.

I dunno if we’ll ever be able to pack through the “Sterile Zone” in Airports, or in Government Buildings with their own security force.

But Post Offices, unsecured government buildings, and public School Grounds I suspect will have their “Gun free zone” status abolished sooner rather than later.

Of course all of these changes are measured in geological time…

Thomas points out that even if you have a CHL/CCW you can’t carry in FEDERAL BUILDINGS unless you are a licensed governmental employee, as in “licensed to be armed”…such as a U.S. Marshall.
