It's my understanding that guns are allowed in school parking lots, you just aren't allowed to have them outside of your vehicle.

Not K12 if you step out of your vehicle.

And not anywhere within 3000 feet of a school unless you are licensed by the state that you're in.

Other Federal facilities, Corps of Engineers properties, etc. to follow perhaps?

Federal buildings, White House tours?

Not sure I'm fond of this part of the judge's decision though ...

Matsch said there is a collective interest in public safety that trumps individual liberty in certain circumstances.

There are good reasons for barring weapons within the postal building itself, Matsch said. "An individual openly carrying a firearm may excite passions, or excited passions may lead to the use of the firearm. Someone could also attempt to take the firearm from its lawful carrier and use it for criminal purpose."

He's just keeping consistent with the SCOTUS decision in McDonald.

Yes. Go to Texas, and drive down I35, your in violation many times.

Or, be a Tx ccw and come to Ok.
