In the state of Washington, by state law you can’t carry in a court room, school, or bar. Any other place that has a sign and you get caught it is a matter of them asking you to leave. If you refuse to leave, then it gets treated as trespassing.
There was an odd letter written after the Sandy Hook massacre. It was in the form of a letter written to one of the dead teachers. Chastising her for not having a gun on her to protect her children. Went on about how “natural” or God-given rules are greater than some rule that man (the school) sets. It was too harsh in my opinion (the teacher was dead), but it does bring up the point that sometimes man’s rules are not just.
I always have a struggle picking my kids up from school. Bring the gun, or risk having my CCW revoked forever. So far I leave my gun at home.
When my Sons went to public school, I’d take my gun to pick them up and drop them off. I’d just stay off of the property. Never had an issue.
What teachers/staff knew me knew I did it, and appreciated it, too.
What is the rule about a gun in the trunk of your car separated from your ammunition and being on school grounds?
Is that acceptably transporting but at the same time unarmed?
