CCW - Schools refresher

FLUFF:
Need a refresher on the law from someone who knows for sure.

I am in violation if I have a CCW permit and have my pistol with loaded mag  in a lock box in my vehicle while on school grounds to pick up my kids from school ?

Is my wife in violation if she (No permit yet) has an unloaded pistol and loaded mags in the same lock box, between the seats on the floor of the van under her bible when she picks up the kids from School ?

Just need to clarify

Husker_Fan:
My understanding is that I, having a CHP can carry on my person so long as I don't get out of the car when picking up my kids. You are OK getting out of the vehicle so long as you lock the gun up before exiting the vehicle.

As for you wife, I would not take a firearm onto school grounds at all without a CHP.

Your wife may be able to legally keep a firearm locked  in the trunk, separate from the ammunition as  federal safe passage laws allow,  while on school property. I said "may be" A lawyer consult is probably in order.

But your wife is not able to keep a concealed handgun in the passenger area without a CHP. And, I would not consider "in plain sight" or open carry on a school grounds in today's political climate

Pardon my reviving an old post (came across it searching for the answer to this question). Here's a different twist on this question... a walker/jogger, CHP holder, CCing while walking/jogging on public sidewalks... Upon crossing a street into a block that contains a public school, does continuing on foot, on the public sidewalk (adjacent to the street, on the school side) constitute entering "school grounds" (in violation of state law?)?

Am sure safest way to be sure you're in compliance would be to simply walk on the other side of the street, but is there a definitive answer to whether it is/is not lawful to cc on past the school while remaining on an adjacent public sidewalk?

gsd:
Alan, my understanding is a public sidewalk is exactly that: public. Entering school grounds constitutes actually setting foot on property owned or administrated by the school. In other words, keep off the grass. ;D
