1) Federal law overrides state law, and

2) GFSZA seems to imply the exception is only for LEOs while they're "working" ( "official capacity" ). An observer / parent at a school event doesn't seem to fit that description.

I've heard sworn LEOs are considered on duty 24/7, regardless of whether they're actually at work or not, so maybe that's it.

Thanks for the replies.

Fed LE has better things to do than arrest state/local LE who are carrying somewhere that's not federal property but where federal law might prohibit them from carrying in certain instances under certain interpretations of the law. That's assuming said Fed LE is even at some local school in the first place and that they even know about how the GFSZA might apply to state/local LE in certain instances. And federal prosecutors have better things to do with their time than prosecute such a case.
