I understand,
but as I said
" I didn't think to look up SCHOOLS in the area of the GUN SHOW, because I didn't think they would have a GUN SHOW in a SCHOOL ZONE in the FIRST PLACE. "
I seem to remember a "gift cards for guns" event in a school zone not too long ago. If you do get busted in a school zone, the jury will have to decide if you knew about it or not. Bail...lawyer fees.....
Yes, I was there and it was in San Diego. It was illegal to have a gun buyback inside of a school zone, especially since they turned a blind eye to so many blatant 12025 issues.
I may be wrong on this, but I believe that gun show parking lots are exempted from 626.9 as long as the parking lots are enclosed and there is only one way in and out (IIRC from my last read of the law, don't quote me on it just yet). Lorax3 and I discussed this very issue not too long ago and the consensus we arrived to was that there was no real issue with carrying inside or outside of the gun show, as long as you were within the gates. We discussed this issue since there is a school just about 200' away from the Del Mar gun show.
I will say though, Pincheogro1, that it was very, very dumb of you to be in possession of ammo for your gun at a gun show. I nearly got checked by a jackass cop at a gun show (oh yes, it nearly happened) and I can tell you, had I had ammo, I would have been BONED. Story here:
