Conceal carry ???

[landman873]

Ok quick question. I'm in the service field of work and don't know where i will end up throughout the day. Your house my house downtown buildings. My issue is i can end up at a school or college campus. I'm smart enough to know there is no carry on school grounds or anything close to it. Am i better off locking it up in the Truck and going about my business? Or whats my best option? I'm not gonna go turn my gun in to the school cause i can be there 5 mins or 5 days. I am outside and away from students and buildings. So help me out as i would like to not have to leave my gun at home everyday.

Most people will probably say "Concealed is concealed", which I agree with in this case.

That's what i was thinking. I will prolly just leave it in the truck as i can end in odd positions that might show.

I'd go with whatever makes you the most comfortable. If you have to think to yourself "i really shouldn't be carrying here" then leave it in the truck.

While I am a big proponent of carrying ALL the time I still don't carry in schools or government buildings. I feel for ya man but, like you, I am leaning towards leave it in the truck.

I believe that SDA would say you need to leave it home.
It's okay to have in your car if you're dropping a kid off.
But you can't get out and leave it in your vehicle, locked or unlocked.
And obviously you can't carry it on school property.

When I said "leave it in the truck" I was assuming he would NOT be parking on school property. Guess I didn't make that real clear ... sorry ...

I wasn't picking on any of the post, just putting my two cents worth in.

So i really need to drive the 30 minutes home to drop it off then 30 back to the school to be there for 10 minutes? Its like yesterday i was at a school for 30mins and just drove in from the lake. I guess i wasted my money getting my permit if i need to leave it at home 7 days a week. Kind of defeats the purpose of a conceal carry. Also are knives illegal to have on school grounds?

Now your beginning to understand how everyone who works at a school feels.

Also I'm just posting what I understand of the statute.
And how I percieve it.
I'm only responsible for me, so to each your own.
I prefer to follow my understanding of the law.
It seemed pretty black and white to me.

Lone exceptions is if you have a police commission or you're teaching a CCW class at CareerTech.
