Hollowpoint minivans , I'll have to use that. I've been in two car accidents caused by others, both minivans. It's gets funnier, the first accident the woman was on her way to pick up her daughter at school and she was late so she was on her cell phone when she ran the red light. While I was being moved she came over to check my status and apologize, she then handed me her business card with her insurance info on it. Later in the hospital when I had a chance to look at it, she was a liquor distributor.

Thanks jumping frog for pointing out what I missed. All that subparagraph mumbo jumbo gets me confused. I'm going to email it to some of the others in my class so they can have the same clarification. There are too many school zones in DFW to avoid.

It is a pretty pathetic law. I think there are more kids shooting adults than adults shooting kids. Besides I think my car can go faster than any kid can run.

That will make my life so much easier. I thought I would have to take the scenic route to work and it already takes me nearly an hour to get there. I'm absolutely sure my instructor stated it that way. He told us a personal story to emphasize it. He wasn't feeling well that day so it might not have been delivered the way he intended. Thanks for the clarification!

Can someone set me straight on this? The instructor in my December CHL class stated weapon-free school zones were those posted with a weapons free sign only. And a CHL holder is not permitted to possess a firearm as he or she travels through one. I've been reading CHL-16 but I don't see anything stating posted only. What I'm confused about is the 1996 federal legislation to make all schools gun-free:

"(2)(A) It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to
possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise
affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that
the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to
believe, is a school zone."

If I'm understanding correctly, effective notice is provided by the speed limit sign marking where the school zone begins and ends. I have 3 exits from my subdivision and 2 of the 3 I must pass through a school zone. There are another 4 or 5 I pass through on my way to work. Several of them the "premises" is within 300ft of the road. So does the law require weapons free school zones to be posted with a weapon free sign? Would I be breaking the law by passing through these zones with my firearm in my vehicle? Does it apply when school is not in session?
