Federal judge overturns USPS regulation of firearms in parking lots

[Sanford]

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

It's not so much the decision as his rationale...

"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."

... reads like a mantra straight out of the anti-carry playbook. Any number of things "may" or "could" happen - the issue is whether there's a reasonable probability that it "would" happen; and a judge "should" know that after all.

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.

How does this affect the homes of the people that live around the schools?

You're fine on private property. If off private property, it must be unloaded and in a locked container. To be loaded, you must be licensed by the State with jurisdiction over that school zone.



However (and this is not legal advice, as I am not a lawyer, nor to I pretend to be one on TV, nor do I ever stay at Holiday Inn Express), this is largely unenforced except when it comes time to stack charges.

It's only 1000 feet.

I get my gun law and drug law definitions of "school zone" mixed up sometimes. I'm sorry, and thanks for the prompt and accurate correction.

That also stems from the arguments made in McDonald for Incorporation via Due Process after a certain organization came onboard and hijacked the case.

Ah. Thanks for that, then - I need to go read it again.
