Another thing to be aware of: The CHL exemption to the GFSZA only applies if the CHL was issued by your State of residence and you are within that State. So if you live in Texas and are carrying in Texas with only a Utah CHL under reciprocity, you are still in violation of the GFSZA. If you live in Texas and have a Texas CHL, you'd be in violation within 1000' of a school if you were in Utah.Keith B wrote:Just be aware you are in violation of the Federal Gun Free School Zone act without a CHL. And while no one has been arrested for this only, you are still illegally carrying when you do this within 1000 feet of a school.RottenApple wrote:Personally, while I don't have my CHL yet, I carry in my vehicle under the MPA all the time. And on those rare occasions when I pick up my kids at school, I don't disarm. Of course, my kids' ISD isn't silly enough to post an unenforceable 30.06 sign at the entrance to their parking lots. But if they did, I'd have no problem driving right past it, sitting in line to pick up my kids, and then driving off.
Put another way, reciprocity is an agreement between the several States. The Federal government does not recognize any reciprocity agreements.
