No posted signs. I usually pack concealed.


Legality?????????????

I believe I am, but what do you guys say, it's a private school and not in session. They basically hold HS classes right in the church building during the week....

That may make it a school, and so it's may not be legal. Do you want to risk a criminal trial to find out?

Mtng in Morristown? I was at that meeting a month and a half ago. Didn't notice the sign.

Really? name? I said it's NOT posted. Yeah, that's why I made this thread, I DON'T want to break the laws.............Funny how if I was a thug, the laws wouldn't even enter the mind. And they want to keep guns away from people like ME, even though those THUGS will always get them. Hmmmmmmm, what's wrong with THIS picture!

BTW, Bens dad, my name is John, I bring the coffee...............keep comin back!

Are you entering a portion of the building that is under the exclusive control of the school and is signed? No? Then I think you are OK, but I won't do squat for you if you get tagged.


It seems to me if you are talking about a multi-purpose building, if the area utilized by a school is not signed, it's open to permit holders along with the rest of the building. I'd gladly be corrected by any experts. Please chime in.

I think I have said this before, but to most decision-makers, this is a fairly subtle and esoteric portion of the law as far as they are concerned. It's tough to debate the meaning of the law when you are in handcuffs.

The absolute, solid-gold, best bet is to obtain:

... although I admit, in most cases that is next to impossible. Choose your children's schools wisely.

Hmmm, they do hold classes upstairs of the church, and they do have a "portable" (mobile home") classroom. I guess the portable is considered as classroom only, but the church isn't. Interesting, I just got to thinking last night (god it hurt!) about carrying on school property, and was like "maybe I better re-think this a bit!"

Thanks everyone.................

It should not be that difficult.

These laws won't stop the criminal and serve only to entrap. These zero tolerance rules are just as foolish. I read recently that a high school student in Anoka(?)was suspended for having a box cutter in his car a tool he used as a stock person at the local grocery. That a youngster was reprimanded because he had a gun magazine in his possession and not the one from the school library.

Like I said, no guns in school laws, will deter me, cause I'm law abiding, (most of the time) , but to criminals it means nothing. Nice we have such important legal deterrents that is fosho.................

WE DON'T KNOW how a court will interpret 609.66 and a multi-use building. And finding out could be expensive.

And, I don't fear ANY of my AA brothers, so, I'll just leave my gun home, lol. I can't afford an attorney unless absolutely necessary.

How expensive is a misdemeanor trial?

It's not the trial I worry about, it's the attorney fees...............

Court costs aren't that much, I think.

Up to 90 days and/or $1,000, if you lose. Oh, and probably never getting a carry permit again. And the lost wages and the lawyer fees.

Other than that it's an absolute bargain.

Of course, that is all a worst case scenario opinion. But you do get to keep your gun regardless.

AND my bullet?
