Would I be breaking the law?
My son goes to Preschool at a church. Next to the church is a High School.
I work outside for the most part. My work days sometimes get short. I'd like to hit the range between the time I get off work and have to pick up my son. I also CC. I would NEVER take a gun into a school.
Would I be breaking the law if I had my range guns and CC gun locked in my car while going into the Preschool to pick up my son?
I did read the Sticky on CC and OC.
Off-limits places in PA and what makes them off-limits:
2a.*Grounds and buildings of Elementary and Secondary schools(K-12 grades), whether the school is private or public. There is an affirmative defense for "other lawful purposes" however there is no case law determining on what that includes. To be safe, its wiser to assume it does not include our carrying "rights". - PA Title 18, Chapter 9, Subsection 912
2b. Within 1000ft of a school unless you have a license/permit issued by the state in which the school is located - US Title 18, Part I, Chapter 44, Subsection 922(q)
All I'm looking to do is save a time running home to drop of my guns before I pick up my son.

Re: Would I be breaking the law?
If the church is not part of the school I would say you are fine (assuming you have a LTCF from PA, bolded important part)
As for "Other lawful purpose", I would assume self defense is a lawful purpose; however, if you do not want to be the case test I would not recommend carrying.Last edited by Fraggle09027; October 16th, 2010 at 11:45 AM. Reason: more bold

Confirm whether or not that pre-school also contains a Kindergarten. If not then you can even carry in when you pick him up.
