I have a crisp twenty dollar bill for you if you are volunteering to be the test case! Sorry I can't make it more right now, but i got obama'd for 5 months this past year and am still crawling out of that financial hole.

That's what I assumed you were referring to. I could be wrong, but a school district is not a "county, municipality, or township", so §�6120 would not apply.

The hell I'm not! Keep the twenty!

If I remember correctly someone already volunteered, the outcome is unclear yet. let's wait.

Interesting point.

But is it technically public/municipal... uhm... related thingy?

If I cannot possess firearms on district property, does it mean I can not even pass it on my way to the train station?

what would give a school district the right to seize anything ?
