Nice to know the feds think of us in the same way as pedos. How does this work with people who live around schools? Are they not allowed to have a home defense weapon?I am not doubting you, just trying to have 100% viable Information as a source for me and others who see this to reference. I appreciate the information. With a quick look this is what I found.
"School properties, and areas, those remain on the 'don't carry' list so to speak,"
Under Florida's new constitutional carry bill, it's still illegal to willingly and knowingly bring a gun onto a school campus.
Without a license to carry it's a felony. With a license, it's a misdemeanor.
It's also a felony to use a gun in a "rude, careless, angry, or threatening manner" within 1000 feet of a school campus -- license or no license.
However, that's just state law.
According to the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 , it's a felony for anyone without a license to have a loaded gun within a thousand feet of a school.
Violating that law carries up to a $5000 fine and 5 years of prison time.
Lockett said federal agents don't often enforce federal law when there are state laws to the contrary.
