This is not a bad bill.  At least you are totally legal leaving a firearm in your car at local parks and schools.

 

And also you are protected by jobs that do not allow guns in parking areas.

 

 

I think bills should be introduced to get rid of the park ban, sign 500 fine, and legalize carry in schools.

Are you?  I took the first part of the following to mean that at least schools were excluded from the bill.  Can someone clarify?

You mean the "federal law" part, Gun Free School Zone Act?

 

If so, permit from the state is an exception under it.

Well, "notwithstanding" means "despite" or "despite anything to the contrary", so reasonably that means that this bill overrides those.

 

The "unless" for federal law would mean that it is still in effect.

Under federal law, we could carry in schools with a permit IF the state would change the law on that.  It is legal in Alabama and Mississippi as far as surrounding states.  I wish our state would fix that.
