Yeah, but if you're out of your home state...you probably don't KNOW where the school zones are.

Is not knowing makes somebody not guilty?

Ignorance is not usually an excuse to illegal behavior. But, read the law itself in the first post, where it says you must KNOWINGLY do it to be illegal.

Now the question is if you are off duty in your own state are you still "acting in your official capacity" in order to be exempt?

There's certainly more than one firearms law I've read over that contains the exact wording, one being the 1000' law for schools if I remember correctly. However even if I was unknowingly at 999', I'd still get the book thrown at me as if I threw battery acid on a room full of puppies. If I was a cop, I might just get grounded and told, "NO! That's a bad, bad officer. Go to your room and think about what you've done."

"knowing" is applied reasonable person standards here. Ie if you can see school signs - you reasonably should have known, and will be convicted.

I dont recall the details but after 9/11 HR 218 (or something like that) gave sworn LEOs to carry across state lines legally or something to that effect. How that plays with school zones I dont know.

Actually the pilot has the right to deny their (federal LE) privilege to carry aboard aircraft. It's the pilot's call, not the .gov. The pilot has the right to refuse anyone to come aboard, government agents (except air marshals) included.
