I do keep forgetting you are from one of those far northeastern states where you have to ask permission to breathe more than your allotted 10-20 times per minute.
I have many rights even those NOT enumerated specifically in the US or my home State's Constitutions. It saddens me that you have to live so tightly held down by the thumb of tyrants over you. Maybe, if you work hard, YOU to can live in a State that recognizes ones individual rights and freedoms. I am not saying my State is perfect, far from it. But it is so much better than yours.
I have NOT said that I have a right to be on the grounds of a public school. I have said that as an VISITOR on the campus where I am volunteering in a classroom etc. the LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT can do absolutely NOTHING to me legally simply for my carry of a firearm either opening carried or concealed. Requirements needed for this is a PERMIT issued by my state to get released from the PREVIOUSLY found to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL and reinacted without significant change Federal Gun Free School Zone law. BTW Utah permit simply allows concealment, IT IN NO WAY REQUIRES CONCEALMENT!
BTW: here are the Utah laws to support my claim that the local public school can do absolutely NOTHING against me related to my carry of a firearm or other dangerous weapon while on the public school campus and not violation any other laws/rules/regulations!
