W&C in Closed School?

Magnumst · Jun 19, 2017

I have a project coming up in a Baltimore city school in a not so good neighborhood. This school has been closed since the end of the 2016 school year and a construction site since then. My question is, would this still be considered a school or would my W&C permit be valid on the property? I'm not looking to break the law and moving in and out with couple $k worth of equipment, I want to come home at the end of the day. I will be feeling out the GC this week to as to their policies and opinion.

If it is still considered school property, you probably need to play by their rules. Usually schools prohibit carry except for law enforcement.

IANAL either.

The statute doesn't specify open or closed. Only that it's a school.

IANAL.

Assuming it is still owned by the City of Baltimore and will be used as a school after renovation, IANAL either but I would presume it to still be a GFZ.

I have not seen any language in COMAR regarding carry rules "while school is in session" which means to me the rules apply 24 hours a day, including summer time. I wouldn't do it, but IANAL.

After speaking with the GC he informed me that it is in fact a GFZ.

I have worked on quite a few new schools while they were being built, they were all GFZ and we couldn't even have a firearm in our vehicles on the property.
They had to allow knives or the school would never get built.

The Federal GFSZA makes no differentiation between open, closed or in session, or not.
