MODS: Feel free to move this to a better sub-channel if need be.
Here is the map of the area in question. See questions in blue below.
The school is the large bldg on the south of the map between BROAD (west boundary), LAFAYETTE (east biundary), Oak (north boundary) and ELM (south boundary). On the same block where the school bldg is at is a parking lot, the priest house and the church.
Now per my understadning the entire block as defined above is a gun-free zone since it has a school. Right? So is it OK to park your vehicle on any of those streets (mentioned above) & leave your weapon in the car to go to church services? Or should the streest to the NORTH/SOUTH (not on the map) be used since they are the next blocks UP/DOWN?
Now to the east of LAFAYETTE is a large parking lot (used by the church for parking, not sure who it belongs to but would say the school/church) and then a big building that houses the school gym and a small hall they rent for various functions. BINGO is also held in the gym. IMMEDIATELY after the building is a public park. When you step out the back side of the big building you are literally steping onto the public park (grass).
So can one carry inside the gym/hall for non-school functions (when you attend a party at the rented hall, when the church does Fish Fridays, Bingo, etc..? Or is this building also considerd a school?
Now if the gym/hall is a school where does it's boundry end? Meaning I can carry in the public park but just can't step onto the actual building (gym/hall) property?
The playground on the SOUTH side of the gym/hall is part of the PUBLIC PARK btw.
Lastly once a year the church holds it's annual festival and they use up the entire parking lot (the big one) for the rides, booths, food stands, and the beer garden. The beer garden buts up against the WEST side of the gym and has one 1 entrance with local PD at the gate so that only over 21 go in. What I have noticed as well this past year (not sure about the year before) was a sign at the gate saying.
- 21 and over only
- No firearms beyond this point
Yet how can their be firearms on the parking lot "in the fair" if it is part of the school? That got me thinking about the rest of these questions.
Thanks!
