School Gun Free Zone Law Upheld By Federal Appellate Court

If you think Florida’s permitless carry law allows you to freely carry and transport your firearm without a license, think again!

If you think Florida’s permitless carry law allows you to freely carry and transport your firearm without a license, think again!

Possessing a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school zone, while possessing a valid concealed carry license, you are legal. Without one and possessing a firearm, you are breaking both state and federal law.

Monday, June 16, 2025, the Federal 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the long established federal school gun free zone law (18 U.S.C. § 922(q)(2)(A). RULING

The ruling leaves in effect one of the most expansive “sensitive places” restrictions for firearm possession in all of federal law. It deals a blow to Second Amendment advocates who have long felt that the law’s 1000-foot buffer zone around school property is overreaching a excessive.

A person possessing a firearm, within 1,000 feet of a school zone, public or private school, regardless if the school is in session or not, is committing both a state and federal felony.

Possession includes the transportation of a firearm in a private vehicle, traveling through a school zone. Again, regardless if it is a public or private school, it the school is in session or not.

Exception to the law: A person possessing a valid concealed carry license may legally possess or transport a firearm in a private vehicle, within a school zone, notwithstanding, in accordance state and local laws.

The possession of a valid concealed carry weapons license or recognized permit, issued another state, exempts the person from the law.

Karoline Leavitt Confirms CCW Reciprocity May Be Coming To All 50 Beautiful States

May 6, 2025

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/karoline-leavitt-confirms-ccw-reciprocity-may-be-coming-to-all-50-beautiful-states/ss-AA1EcwBB

At a recent White House press briefing, Karoline Leavitt, President Trump’s press secretary, faced a direct question about concealed carry rights. A reporter asked if there were any “ongoing efforts for national reciprocity” so that Americans could carry concealed weapons “in all 50 beautiful states.” Leavitt didn’t dodge the question. Instead, she made it clear: the Trump administration is supportive of the idea, but Congress would have to act first.

According to Leavitt, this is something Trump talked about “on the campaign trail for sure.” Her message was simple – Trump backs law-abiding gun owners, but passing a national reciprocity law requires legislative support.  

Nationwide concealed carry reciprocity takes another step closer to becoming a reality. Congressman Richard Hudson appeared on Fox News, Friday, April 11, 2025 . . . .
