Is there anyone who would like to help donate to me paying the lawyer to give us an answer on this?
How do we get a definitive answer on it? A lawyer?
IMO intent means nothing. Actual wording means everything. The intent could have been just to condense the statute because it was redundant.
Statute says you must be licensed. Doesn't specify what kind, my assumption would be a pistol permit.
Statute also say privileged, there is nothing that says what gives a person privilege. There is also no definition if privilege, that i can find, in the statutes. My assumption is my permit makes me privileged. I have not been informed of losing this privilege so i am still privileged.
Just my thought. Could be right, could be wrong. I AM NOT A LAWYER AND IF YOU GET ARRESTED FOLLOWING MY ADVICE I HAVE NO MONEY TO HELP PAY LAWYER FEES NOR DOES MY ADVICE SERVE AS LEGAL OPINION.
But in what I read it says licensed to do so and we( permit holders) are licensed to carry. Again it doesn't say that our permit is not adequate just as it doesn't say that you can open carry. However we know that because it doesn't say we can't open carry that we are allowed. There for IMHO it doesn't say our license is not a valid license for school zones so it should be.
Are jury instructions laws?
So far nobody has trotted out a statute about traversing a "gun-free" school zone, not going on the property. The federal code treats the magical 1000' bubble the same as the school grounds. Some states make a difference in their law.Sec. 53a-217b. Possession of a weapon on school grounds: Class D felony

Unless there's a CT law saying it's illegal to be in the magical 1000' bubble, federal law says it's legal for people with a license issued by CT.motoxmann said:I recently had to spend an entire day unarmed all because I knew in advance I'd be spending 5 minutes in a GFZ in the middle of the day

The way US law works, that which is not expressly forbidden is lawful.Rich B said:Nor does it say that your pistol permit is adequate.

Guess that's why there are laws saying murder is wrong.
