[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 1764723, member: 3553"] People park just outside the clearly marked school grounds all the time when they have to go in for a school event or even just to walk their kid to the classroom; and leave firearms in cars legally. Just because a piece of property OUTSIDE a clearly demarcated school boundary is being used for parking and CAN be used for parking for school related activities does not make it de-facto PART of the school property. the issue is: who owns the parking property, not how it MAY be used. So, if a large corporation has a large campus, and a small portion of this corporate campus is set for, say, elementary education for children of employees, but presumably ALL the parking lots of the corporation's campus can POTENTIALLY be used to park by parents dropping kids off to school, does not then make ALL the parking lots subject to the "safe" gun-free zone act. Again, it boils down to: who owns the parking lot: the school or the larger corporation. and does the parking lot have clearly demarcated boundaries that signify it is part of the school property along with the standard NO GUNS sign? It would seem it would need to. We can't just take a "safe" gun free zone and extend it based on potential use of the property. As someone else, said, what about home schools where one family teaches kid of 2-3 families? Are those "safe" gun free zones as well during school hours when they engage in k-12 educational activities? The answer is "no" because they are not part of a k-12 school property, and the primary use is as a private home, not as a school. So it is clear based on current practice, that identification of a "safe" gun-free zone is based on clearly demarcated property boundaries that signify that the primary purpose of that property is k-12 activities, not just based on POTENTIAL and non-primary use of the property for k-12 activities. the same argument would then apply to churches whose primary purpose is a place of worship and community, but who may have a separate, clearly demarcated area whose primary purpose may be k-12 education. The smaller, clearly marked area would be a "safe" gun free zone, but not the larger church property. [/QUOTE]
