Yeah, that's why I was trying to figure out how they got brought up.

However we were unable to take our weapons into the school if we were going to pick up our kids or doing any business on the school. My curiosity was because I (as I have not received my CHL yet everything stays home until I go to the range) live 5 houses away from a high school. I plan to travel that way going to and from work (fastest way).
A licensee is allowed to have the handgun on school grounds, but is not allowed to carry into any buildings. A licensee also cannot carry at any school activities.

Another question that occurred to me: does the zone have to be posted as a "gun free school zone" or does the law apply everywhere with reduced speed limits for school zones?
I'm pretty sure that the reduced speed limit signs don't denote the boundary of school property. Otherwise the school in my neighborhood would own a *lot* of houses.

In some parts of town, it's hard to even find a house that far from a school, let alone a path to/from work.
