Will the states do anything? Big question. By Federal Law, you just broke the law. By their reading of the law you only are legal in a state that issues you the permit.A question to anyone who can answer it
as a resident of nevada i am exempted from the restriction of
carrying within 1000 feet of a school.
I can drive past schools on the roads to get where i have to
go.
Here is the question
under federal law lets say as a nevada resident with a nevada
permit when i travel in other states that honor my permit, am i
exempted from the 1000 foot restriction there also?
It would be helpful if someone would quote the fed law that is in question. And why have reciprocity if the federal law over rules the state law? And what's with the caviate about speed limits? Are there federal cops out there checking on speed limits?

Those that live within the 1000 ft GFZ are exempt while on their property. Step one foot off without the permit for that state/local jurisdiction and you are in violation. Sooner or later this will result in a test case for the Supreme Court, again.Technically there are a lot of people living within these school zones as well as people traveling through them every minute of every day.
This law is either incredibly dumb because not thought thru or incredibly clever cause it effectively nullifies reciprocity (ie a law made by the gun haters).

(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.
(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm—
(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
(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;
This law was written by U.S. Senators Kohl, Specter, Feinstein, and Lautenberg.
Not only does this law effectively nullify reciprocity, it also effectively nullifies all unlicensed carry in the country.[/QUOTE
I was right! A New Jersey Congressman was involved!

Remember, gov't will violate the law until they are forced to change by a court.
