| So I had to drop my kid off at basketball ball practice and run a quick trip to Best Buy while he was there. I had my G19 IWB, had to lock in car safe to drop off at school, then reholster before going into Best Buy, then put back in the safe before picking him up again. What a pain in the a_ _. Not to rub it in for those still waiting on the mail, but I now never leave the house without my LCP or Glock. |

I don't have permit yet, but my G19 "lives" in my truck, Kahr in my pocket soon. I don't worry about GFSZ much. Not many up here, and if I don't deviate from main highways, I don't pass within 1000' of any except in Minocqua on 70west, and I hardly ever go that way. Schools in Eagle River, Three Lakes, St. Germain, Land OLakes, Phelps, are all more than 1,000' from highway. My kids are grown, so no need for me to go to a school, except when grandkids have a concert or play or something. |

Dropping your kid off at school, or driving in the local neighborhood would make it hard to claim ignorance. But if it's a neighborhood you're unfamiliar with, I wouldn't sweat it. |
 I was under the impression there's an exception for "in your vehicle" such that you can have it on, drive on school grounds and get/drop off kids. As long as you don't get OUT of your car the exception holds. I don't have kids, so the issue is moot for me, but you may want to read that section and come to your own conclusions.

. Just waiting for the permit.

It's cities like Milwaukee where where the GFSZ come into play. The entire city is practically a GFSZ. At least the CCW permit protects you from the 1000 ft. GFSZ zones. If the city really wanted to be dicks about it, they probably could have arrested quite a few open carriers of GFSZ violations before CCW was allowed. Look at the map starting on page 3.

That WAS in the two prior CC bills by Zien & Gunderson, vetoed by Doyle, but wasn't put into this law. Why not It just wasn't.
edit to add: in the prior bills, it applied to licensees only. |

The key to that map is that it only applies to public property (ie. sidewalk and street). For people who were OC'g before we couldn't carry loaded in our cars, so we would drive to our destination (typically on private property), load up and go about our business without having the GFSZ's come into effect.
