Thanks for the info. I feel a bit better now. I had heard that the federal law was really set up to prosecute those who broke the law with a gun or drugs while on campus (gang members and such) and it would be unusual for them to prosecute a CHL holder. This from a local police officer.

Even if it were made legal by our state for all CHL holders to carry within a public school, or even if the administrator of said school were to give the CHL holder permission to carry, this would go against the federal law that makes all public schools "gun free zones". It's my understanding that state law can't override federal law. So, really when we CHL holding teachers even have a concealed handgun in our locked vehicle, we are breaking federal law but not state law. Now, please correct me and tell me how I'm wrong. I really do want to be wrong since I always have a pistol in my truck in the school parking lot where I work.
