CCW outside of a school.
shaggy853:
I understand the better safe than sorry approach, and how easily one can get dragged into an unfriendly LEO/court situation. I really wish that this stuff was defined for us and we knew exactly what was right and wrong.
Brian:
What about this?
??Generally, it is unlawful for any individual to knowingly possess a firearm within a school zone. A school zone is defined as being within a distance of 1,000 feet from the grounds of a public, parochial, or private school??

--- Quote ---However in the following situations an individual would not be possessing a firearm in violation of 922(q)(A):
1. The individual is licensed by the State or political subdivision to possess the firearm...

this would allow for state law to decide for state permit holders.

IA's recent law, and many federal laws like having the 1000 foot range thing.
While you have been told that walking in front of a school without any intention to enter it is fine... I wouldn't take the risk of butting heads with an attorney if you can.
Your vehicle is an extension of your home (there's federal case law about this and such, pardon me for not linking to it). I imagine a motorcycle shares similar rights. While in your vehicle you're fine - if you have to step a single foot outside of the vehicle, disarm before doing so.
Get some permafixed saddle bags or a trunk... something that has a lock on it. For my truck, ChrisZ was kind enough to point out:

Cabella's has something like this with a chain/chord attached for securing to car/truck seat.
Standard disclaimers about me not being lawyer and such.

Here is the same/similar box, $5 cheaper, although I didn't check shipping price... I have one for my XDm 9mm 4.5 in. Box holds the gun and one mag and has enough foam padding to hold it in there tightly. There is a cable that comes with it so you can secure it in your car or on your motorcycle. The company is in Missouri too, so you get pretty fast shipping... I've ordered a couple of things from them.

If you happen to be an employee of the school in question, be sure to check the employee handbook... while there is federal law protecting your vehicle, my school employee handbook expressly forbids having a weapon in my vehicle on school property, even as a permit holder. So there you go, an entity that gets state and federal funding gets to trump federal law... go figure.
