I have been reading CFL and Penal Codes since I bought my gun in November. Everything I have read up tiill now I understand, but with this chapter, I need someone to help me understand the numbering, wording.
PC 626 (c) (2)
"Safe school zone" means an area that encompasses any of the following places during regular school hours or within 60 minutes before or after the school day or 60 minutes before or after a school-sponsored activity at the school site:
(A) Within 100 feet of a bus stop, whether or not a public transit bus stop, that has been publicly designated by the school district as a school bus stop. This definition applies only if the school district has chosen to mark the bus stop as a school bus stop.
(B) Within 1,500 feet of a school, as designated by the school district.
PC 626.9 (e) (1)
"School zone" means an area in, or on the grounds of, apublic or private school providing instruction in kindergarten or grades 1 to 12, inclusive, or within a distance of 1,000 feetfrom the grounds of the public or private school.
does the wording "providing instruction" mean the same thing as "during school hours"?
Why is there a difference in definition? PC 626 seems like a more common sense law, but PC 626.9 makes no sense. No time frame. Does this mean a person can be charged with a 626.9 violation any time , day or night, whether the school is open or closed?Why would it matter, if it was after hours. No children, no school, no teachers. I'd hate to be walking around at night with my wife and get arrested for a 626.9 violation when no school is open.
