Here's something that has been bothering me for sometime and I just can't seem to come up with an answer.
Suppose you are having a casual lunch while reading a book or magazine in a local fast food establishment, and suddenly a school bus pulls up with perhaps 25-30 grade school kids on a field trip and heading in for a bite to eat. Now unbeknownst to you, the teacher had made prior arrangements with the manager for this little treat.
Now you are surrounded by grade school children on a school sponsored trip, and you are carrying a firearm out in the open for all to see. What do you do? Is this establishment suddenly transformed into an extension of the school for the period of time that this class is occupying the premises? Do you have to immediately leave since you are now well within 1000 feet of a "school function"? Or do you just continue with your lunch and leave when you're good and ready?
Also, what about taking a walk in your neighborhood which just so happens to be like many neighborhoods where there is a school just a short distance up the street? Can you go armed? How much leeway is there in this nonsensical 1000 foot rule?
