Federal Judge Upholds California Gun Law That Doesn't Exist | |||

AMGOA Staff A Federal judge in California upheld a ban on persons who have a license to carry a concealable weapon (CCW) from carrying a handgun within 1,000 feet of a K-12 public or private school. The problem is there is no such ban. California's Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995 provides several exemptions to its ban on carrying a firearm within 1,000 feet of a K-12 public or private school and one of those exemptions is for those people who have a license to carry a concealable weapon. Senate Bill 707 'SB 707' removed the automatic exemption CCW holders had when carrying a concealable weapon in schools and on school grounds. It did not remove the exemption that CCW holders have while carrying a concealable weapon (i.e., handgun) in the 1,000 foot gun-free school zone that extends from the grounds of a K-12 public or private school. http://newsblaze.com/business/legal/federal-judge-upholds-nonexistent-gun-ban_77617/ |
