626.9PC question for LE or attorneys

[25400PC]

I'm looking for feedback on 626.9 (l), exemptions to "bringing or possessing firearms on school grounds or public school or college". When I took my ccw class it was taught that ccw holders were NOT allowed to set foot on any school ground or within 1000 feet. However, the book that was handed out clearly stated that ccw holders were exempt. I called the instructor who was vauge in answering my question but finally said it was allowed but that the sherriff did not want it taught that way. Since then I've talked with a few LE officers and got two different answers. So, anyone here have a clear and defined answer as to wheather section (l) exempts carrying or being within 1000 feet of a college, university or school in the text starting with, "a person holding a valid license to carry the firearm pursuant to . . ."? My question is to make sure when I go to sporting events I don't get in trouble.

Thank you

It all depends 100% on what the restrictions printed on you CCW license actually states. 626.9 specifically exempts CCW holders. You are not exempt from trespass, or discipline from the school/college/university if you're a student, employee, or faculty there.

No, I'm not a lawyer or a LEO. The answer you seek actually is contained within 626.9, and there's a similar provision in the Federal Gun Free School Zone Act as well.

Read the code, it's very specific in there. There may be college/school policy but that is not law and trespass is only when you have been asked to leave and you don't.

And, the 1000 foot rule has nothing to do with LTC, and nothing to do with college/university; 'zones' are K-12 only.

Unless marked "no" on one's license, 626.9(l) is perfectly clear that LTC holders may bring their listed-on-the-license guns onto K-12 and college/university campuses and property.

If stadium or venue security is wanding or doing good pat-downs, and your LTC handgun is detected, that gun is highly unlikely to get in.
