In several threads I have seen statements that OC is permitted for CPL holders in Pistol Free Zones. As I understand it, ONLY uniformed Police Officers or Officers of the Courts are permitted to carry in a Pistol Free Zone and they must be on duty, in uniform, and carrying the pistol in a visible holster. Bascially, if your not a Cop in uniform AND on duty, pistol free zones are just that, even for Police officers in plain clothes on their own time. Those who posess a CPL and who violate this provision are subject to the following penalties.

Bottomline, nobody except uniformed cops are permitted to carry in a Pistol Free Zone. So, until the law changes, anyone with a CPL should make sure they have an empty holster when in any of these zones.
Which means that they are, in reality, enterprize zones for criminals because they don't care a bit about the law. Frankly, I think that it would be more useful to the public interest to devote time to getting the laws changed so that CPL holders can carry in some of these areas such as hospitals instead of hosting OC picnics.
