Re: Does state law supercede federal law...

Yes. You're okay if you're licensed in that state or if the gun is unloaded and locked up.
Okay so licensed by the state that the school is located in, I'm okay to have it loaded and not locked up (by federal law)? But if unlicensed it has to be unloaded and locked up??? Am I correct? And what about if you're in a state that has reciprocity with Texas and you're within a 'school zone' would it still be lawful even though you're licensed by a different state?

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to be clear about this stuff. I wouldn't want to unknowingly do something that could result in the loss of my chl or criminal prosecution.

Re: Does state law supercede federal law...

(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;
(iii) that is—
(I) not loaded; and
(II) in a locked container, or a locked firearms rack that is on a motor vehicle;

???? So as long as you're licensed, your gun is unloaded, and stored in a locked container you're okay? :confused5

Does state law supercede federal law...

When it comes to the federal law restricting firearms within 1000ft. (correct me if I'm wrong) of a school? In other words, even though lawful under state chl laws, would one be breaking the federal law say when storing a gun on a school campus??? :confused5 I seem to vaguely remember a question about this but no straight answer. TIA :txflag:
