I remember reading in the daily press about a man i believe in York County who went to a school board meeting that was off school property openly carring and was arrested i believe. The article was was probably late spring of last year. the School board meeting was not on school property but was a school function open to the public, and the individual was fighting the issue. Im pretty sure it was front page of the local section. Didnt ever hear what the end result was. Far as school property goes the way i read it as long you have a CWP and you leave it in your car when you step out of it your legal. should you venture to the ball field or go inside while packin your no longer legal.
You can't carry within 1000 feet of a school on a recognized or reciprocal CCW.
Remember, you pay property tax on your car in VA, so wouldn't your car be private property, as long as you remain in the vehicle?
thanks Net,
now here's an interesting response to that.
You said {You need an endorsement, license or permit to carry within a school zone except on private property.}, so here's a scenario.
In Virginia, we have open carry laws, so it's possible to be open carrying while driving down a local road, Smoketown Rd in this instance, and you'll pass thru the high school "25mph speed zone" and the school grounds butts up to the road. Since the road is "public" property, based on this description of the law, is a person NOT carrying a CCW license in violation of the law for driving down a major 6 lane road on the way to the local shopping mall, or on the way to the interstate, because they had to pass the school on the way??
