Federal firearms laws?

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.


Oh wait. I guess that isn't federal enough..

Thanks,
I had the fed,state and MSP site's all spread out in front of me and went over and over the laws. I wanted to see all the details at one time to make sure no wording could get me in trouble. Like instad of saying CPL it would read CCW in witch I dont have CCW. I know some of you have carried on school grounds I have not yet. This OC thing is very new to people here and this will be a big deal in my small town when people see or hear about it. I'm wondering if I should call the Allegan county sheriff and the local home town cop shop to see if there up on the laws or not. I will have my 3 and 8 year old with me and wouold not like to go to jail that night or have a bad interaction with them watching.
