My department requires us to qualify with our off-duty firearm anyway and I can see that being beneficial if I was ever jammed up in NYC trying to carry under LEOSA.

I think the other posters were discussing retired LEO carry, not active. In your case you carry your badge and agency ID. Or if you're a NYPD detective your "shield".

Has anyone who actually did shoot someone on school property ever been charged under that?

No and as far as I know, nobody with an out of state license, or in Vermont, or off duty LEO, or carrying a rifle in Texas has been charged with it, but ATF says you can be

And the only time anyone ever was charged under GFSZA WITHOUT a license (Lopez) the SCOTUS ruled it unconstitutional...but Congress updated it with some interstate commerce language, so we'll have to wait for the dreaded "test case".

In the meantime just want to make sure I don't break rule 4, so I remind the LEO's and retired LEO's don't carry long guns off duty and don't carry under LEOSA out of state in a school zone without getting a local permit, and don't ever carry in Vermont in a school zone!!
