Mods..if this needs moved, please do so.
We're all in agreement that carrying a gun into a school would be a "bad thing", even though we may not agree with the law. Every day, someone posts in a thread about having to leave their EDC behind, or park a block away, or jump through some other hoop in order to legally step foot on school grounds. My question is how many of you still have that Gerber or Spyderco clipped to your front pocket?
I carry this little badboy all the time, including into the school when I drop off or pick up my kids.
Here's the reasoning behind my question...
