After living under constant threat for two years, Gabriel Metcalf was exercising his First and Second Amendment rights when he was arrested for violating the unconstitutional Gun Free School Zone Act.

Our justice system is in deep decline. The only way to fix is to fire all the DA’s that pull this kind of thing and all the police who corrupt the system.

Interesting.

If a “gun free” school zone extends an arbitrary number of feet (500’ or 1000’), do citizens that live in that zone lose their Second Amendment rights?

Is there a grandfather clause enabled?

If an imminent threat to property, to limb or to life is occurring, are citizens within the zone barred from self defense of some, or of any kind?

I don’t care if the threat does not have a gun (but they certainly can have a gun - they are already violating multiple laws), is our only defense to call the police and wait 7 - 15 minutes? Even Seven minutes of me verses a tire iron does not look very favorable to me.

Any idea how this is handled in other jurisdictions, or is this the first case to make it this far in the courts?

A very interesting case.

The Gun Free Schools Act was already thrown out by SCOTUS once. I’m pretty sure it will be again.
