So there is an area I want to carry in, but there is a preschool in the near vicinity. As far as I can see, the law states K-12 is the big issue. Would carrying near a preschool be stretching it or am I clear to go?

It would appear that since preschool is not a required school that it is not covered under the law (e.g. Kindergarten is mandatory, but preschool comes out of the pockets of the parents.) Same applies for Sylvan learning centers, etc.Comment

No IMO do not carry within 1000-ft of any preschool or youth center."Bruen, the Bruen opinion, I believe, discarded the intermediate scrutiny test that I also thought was not very useful; and has, instead, replaced it with a text history and tradition test." Judge Benitez 12-12-2022

Just wondering as to why not. The law seems to pretty clearly state the K - 12 requirement. If someone can explain the PC or any relevant case better, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.For those who fight for it, Freedom has a flavor the Protected will never know.Comment

From the PC:
(e) As used in this section, the following definitions shall
apply:
(1) "School zone" means an area in, or on the grounds of, a public
or private school providing instruction in kindergarten or grades 1
to 12, inclusive, or within a distance of 1,000 feet from the
grounds of the public or private school.
It is K-12. Preschool is not included in the definition of "school zone". It's perfectly clear.Comment

even though its not mentioned i'd probably not carry around any school type areas. if an officer sees you he'll more than likely arrest you and then you'll have to get everything settled through the court, even though you'll technically be in compliance with the law.5.56: reach out and touch someone.
458 SOCOM: reach out and knock someone down.Comment

Afraid a gang of preschoolers out for mayhem are gonna go on a rampage?

Seriously I dont know but I think I read that no guns near schools.Comment

No guns near government owned and operated schools. Preschools are private entities and are therefore not subject to the law.
Have you seen little kids lately? They scare the hell outta me!!!!
I will let everyone know how it goes tomorrow. I am starting a blog and I will post the link when I have stuff worthy of your eyes posted up on it.

Has nothing to do with government or not. Go back and read my direct copy from the PC. Includes "private" K-12 schools. Does NOT include preschools.Comment

Isn't kindergarten by definition pre-school, i.e. not grades 1-12, so this definition may include pre-schools:
(1) "School zone" means an area in, or on the grounds of, a public
or private school providing instruction in kindergarten or grades 1
to 12, inclusive, or within a distance of 1,000 feet from the
grounds of the public or private school.
I wonder if a school security law officer is going to be willing to determine if his definition or yours is correct...and if he decides not to I would think he'll ask a judge to do so.
What is the penalty for OC in a school zone, is it a felony offence that could end your gun carrying/owning days forever, and if so would it be worth it?_________________________________Originally posted by Kestryll
