Here is my
Case.
So long as your locked in a case and unloaded you can drive thru any school zone, even walk thru school zones, just dont go on the property, or any government property, post office parking lot would be a serious no no.
For School zones I recomend this process.
Use google maps and mapquest and do searches in your area for the following fields as a minimum:
school, schools, kindergarten, high school, elementary school, private school, catholic school, jewish school, Montessori school, Gateway school
For any and all hits you
must call their number to confirm if they teach any grades from k-12 and if they are registered with the state board of education. If they check out as a legitimate school, then you
must physically go to the school (not OC'ing) find the
borders of the property and measure a 1000' foot circumfrence from it to delineate the zone (be safe make it 1100' to account for possible mistakes). google maps and mapquest can be used with a fair amount of accuracy. At no time ever mention to them anything about firearms or carrying.
Once you have your zones identified, draw your self
your own personal map for
your own reference.
Never ever bring it with you when you OC, leave it at home. memorize the boundaries and set up your safe "carry zones". Every person that chooses to OC must do this for themselves and not rely on anyone elses research, cause if its faulty the convictng DA wont care, its your personal responsibility to not be within 1000' of a k-12 school.
Why not take the map with you? Because if you are stopped and searched by LE while carrying a firearm and carrying a map with k-12 schools highlighted on it the first thing they think will not be its a navigation map for you to carry a firearm, the headline in the paper will read "Man with gun and map of local schools arrested at starbucks"
And after all that work is done you gotta do it again on a regular basis just in case a private school opens up or a gateway or montessori school pops up in your carry area.
Also never ask or share with LE any maps regarding GFSZ's, they dont and wont make them unless they want to train their officers to try and catch you or stick you with a violation.
.....and this is how Californians must practice their right to keep and bear arms. Enjoy have fun!
