Thats news to me, lol....a lot of cops be getting charged then....most officers I know do not have a CHL, but many are carrying under policy, therefore can state work related.....
This is a FEDERAL offense and overwhelmingly only enforceable by Federal LEOs. 99% of local and state LEOs cannot enforce federal laws.To my knowledge this isnt enforced. I dont think a person carrying under MPA could cross San Antonio and comply with this law. Not sure about other cities in Texas.

Laws from different jurdisdictions do not "trump" each other. They are just enforced and prosecuted in different places.As they say, Fed Law Trumps State Law which Trumps Dept. Policy

As they say, Fed Law Trumps State Law which Trumps Dept. Policy. In this case though, LEOs would probably qualify under ii, as they are licensed by the state. Out of State LEOS carrying under LEOSA are not. I found though the professional courtesy can go a long way in situations like these.
(2)(A) It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.
(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm—
(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;
(iii) that is—
(I) not loaded; and
(II) in a locked container, or a locked firearms rack that is on a motor vehicle;
(iv) by an individual for use in a program approved by a school in the school zone;
(v) by an individual in accordance with a contract entered into between a school in the school zone and the individual or an employer of the individual;
(vi) by a law enforcement officer acting in his or her official capacity; or
(vii) that is unloaded and is possessed by an individual while traversing school premises for the purpose of gaining access to public or private lands open to hunting, if the entry on school premises is authorized by school authorities.

No, vi is what covers LEOs. ii only covers people who are licensed to carry, and that license has to include a LE background check.
(vi) by a law enforcement officer acting in his or her official capacity; or
Once they're off the clock, they're technically committing a felony if they go through a school zone with a firearm that's loaded or unloaded and unlocked.
99% of Federal gun prosecutions are referred from State arrests. The original School Zone Law which was struck down (Lopez), was actually enforced by a non-LEO - a High School Principal, who called Local LEOs who called Federal LEOs.
The Feds might make the prosecution, but it usually starts with a contact at the local level.

I am not TCLEOSE, so I do not know the process here, but in other states LEOs are licensed by the state and do meet this definition EXACTLY.
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;
Yes they are also covered in vi, they would also be covered under II if they carried that way. Nothing in the prevents you from being exempt multiple ways.
I know what trump means, and it is an inaccurate description."trump" is a term from card games ( A suit in card games that outranks all other suits for the duration of a hand). It is often used to describe exactly what I described. Most people understand.
I would love to see your source. And I will tell you this, none of those people you alledge were arrested for this were arrested by local LEOs for the federal charge. The locals must have a state or local charge to hold a person so that a federal LEO can be summoned. No one is getting popped by a local for ONLY a violation of the federal law.
yup, cant say I didnt pile on either . I think it's funny how technical everybody wants to get about a law that most cops dont know or care about.Yeah, the thread's kind of hijacked now, huh?
