No, semantics is word selection. I did not choose the word, the law did and distinguishes two different legal scenarios. The reason I bring this up is that I routinely pick up/drop off my daughters in after school sporting events on the grounds of the school. I CC on the school grounds near the softball field and tennis courts, etc. Having spoken with a LEO about this scenario, he agrees that this is an acceptable view. (of course other LEO might not)
Now as far as how the law should be, YES a CPL holder should be able to carry into the building; whether they be a parent, teacher or other lawful CPL holder. Yes the teacher should of been able to defend herself. I would love to find out that this teacher (God rest her soul)did have her CPL and had it locked in her car per the law.

So, differentiating between "school grounds" and "school buildings" in a discussion about what the law ought to be (rather than what it is) isn't playing the semantics game?
