Mudcat, the way the law is written here it appears that I can carry into the school when picking up or dropping off. Tho I generally leave it in the car there.

I believe you. An have it in the car but if you get out to walk the kid to the door for instance you would be in violation. I would check into it to make sure.

Here in Washington the parking lot and the walk ways between buildings are considered public domain and ok to carry. When you enter a building you cross the line.

I asked this of state, not sure what he's called. But his job is to interpret the law that the state creates. He reads it and figures out what they really mean.

Hypothetically he asked me what I do now, told him I carry anyway, he said that's what he would do too. Long as its concealed and secure it's better than being locked in your car.

I don't consider myself a law breaker but if the law is stoopid, I'll sometimes bend the heck out of it.

in Indiana it is against the law to even have the gun in ur car on school property, locked in the trunk or anywhere. If a student wants to bring his deer shoot gun andhave it in his trunk so he can get tyo the woods faster after school andit is found he is expelled. Law is very expliciti about no guns, means no guns period, permit or not.

It's still amazing to me that some people think by making a law that it's illegal to bring a gun on campus,
a homicidal maniac is really going to give a rats ars about breaking it.

I'm just saying...

I'm sure the mass murderer was careful to park legally on his/her way into the school as well.

I leave it in the car. My kids school, a courthouse, some jobsites. There is a pizza joint where I live that I have eaten at for years. Several months back I went for lunch to be greeted by a brand new "No Weapons" sign. I turned around and ate somewhere else. Have not been back since. I wont go where I am not wanted.

Did you tell them? We need to let them know why they lost our business.:hungry:

Years ago a local Blockbuster put up such a sign.
At first I walked out.
Then I walked back in, located the manager and posed the question.

"If I walked in this store intending on robbing the place.
Do you really think I'm going to read that sign and change my mind?
But If I legally carry?
Then I may honor it by taking my business elsewhere.
You should rethink that sign."

The next week I noticed the sign had been removed.

Same thing happened at our Block Buster years ago. It's gone now, not sure why. Rarely went there but was nice once in a while.

I guess they must have discovered a lot of people that rent movies are gun owners. Surprise!

That is a GREAT way to handle the "No Firearms Sign" in the window! Kudos to you.

I guess the answer to this question does depend on which state you live in. In Oregon it is not a crime to carry where posted, unless you are asked to leave and refuse, in which case you are trespassing. Of course federal buildings are the exception. School districts have tried for years to ban legal carry on school grounds here in Oregon, but have failed. As of now, it is not a crime to carry with a CHL on school grounds. It IS a crime to discharge your weapon on school grounds by anyone other than LEO. I tend to walk right past signs, knowing that if asked to leave, I must do so.

I'm also from Oregon and as far I know the only places that it's illegal to carry are Federal buildings, post offices ( is that a federal building?) boarding area of an airport, court houses, if the court is in a building shared by another entity like L.E, DMV, etc. you can legally carry in that part of the building.
We also can open carry without CHLs. But in certain municipalities a CHL is required

Probably 3rd behind CA and your neighbor to the north, us in Washington.
I'm sometimes ashamed of the way people in this state think and vote.

They should only allow votes from the east side, more common sense over there.

Courthouses, Federal Bldgs, Airport Terminals & Casinos are off limits in Oregon, and I obey the law concerning these 4 places. Otherwise, I ignore the "No Weapons Allowed" sign & enter, or I find another establishment close by that isn't so blatantly Anti-2A. I usually enter, since my CHL means Concealed! Funny thing, I would suggest it's these very business owners who don't know what to look for anyway, and believe people will just lay down their weapons because the sign says so! I don't worry!

Yogi, are you sure about casinos. That's a new one on me.
I was just laughing to my self about malls.
You and Deano may know where I'm talking about:
There's a mall in the Tigard, Tualitan area that has "no weapons including knives, explosive, projectals allowed at all the mall entrances. But if you enter the mall from any of the stores that have entrances facing out into the parking lot, there are no signs.

They should only allow votes by those who work and pay their fair share of taxes. That would turn blue to red in a big hurry. Never happen, but I, like you, am embarrassed to be an Oregonian come election time each year.

I know what you mean about the east side. Unfortunately for us the majority of votes are in the Portland, Salem, Eugene area. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

When I talk with people before an election, all their beliefs conservative. But we still loose. Where are the progressives hiding, are they being bussed in?

Carrying in Missouri here.
Absolutely NOTHING stops me from carrying except federal buildings!
Missouri law allows that.
However, if we carry in one of the places that non CCW holders can't, we can always be denied access or removed from the premises.
That's the only consequence and I risk it 150% willingly!

Funny thing though. I'm not bragging, but I'm pretty smart and have read our laws many times over. I almost have them memorized verbatim.
Anyway, when I bring up the protections we CCW holders have under law in Missouri, I'm often surprised by how many people think we have WAY more restrictions than we do.

I also started a thread on individual state's laws.
