Just wanted to do a poll, no need to actually answer the question in a post.
The Federal Gun Free School Zones Act was found unconstitutional in U.S. vs. Lopez as an unconstitutional extension of the interstate commerce clause. Immediately afterward, congress modified it to say that any gun in a school zone affects commerce or moved in commerce and anyone with a gun affecting commerce or that moved in commerce in a school zone is guilty. In my opinion, the law is unconstitutional for the same reason as the original.
My question is, how many of us actually take the federal law to be binding on us? Assuming no local laws applied, and not qualifying for an exception, would you go out of your way to avoid being in violation of 18 USC 922(Q) which prohibits guns within 1000 feet of a school?
Conviction under the law would be a federal felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
