Did a search and not seeing this posted anywhere as of yet; one could say … “Winnnnnnning!”

These legislators get it; pie-in-the-sky mentality “gun free zones” have proven to be nothing more than “free kill zones” …


Iowa House advances bill prohibiting gun-free zones at schools, universities

DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa House Republicans passed a bill out of the chamber that they claim expands gun rights for Iowans

The bill, passed by a vote of 62 to 27, would prohibit public or private school districts, universities, colleges and businesses from enforcing a gun-free zone on its campus. The bill says that firearms can be kept in vehicles on school grounds by students and staff.

The bill was amended on the floor, which expands the bill even more. The bill, as amended, included language to require public and private school districts to offer a gun safety course in grades 7-12 and a watered down version in grades K-6.

The bill now moves over to the Iowa Senate, and if it passes through the chamber, Governor Reynolds can sign it into law.

Don't know how they will square that with the Fed Gov, since the GFZA is federal.

Doubtful, it will change any of that language.

It appears, on external school property the out of sight out of mind rule will come into force. If a gun is seen in the car, then all bets are off.

The GFSZ exempts those with carry permits issued by that state.

The IA bill only exempts carry permit holders for the schools, and only for firearms that remain in the vehicle, not that the federal GFSZ is IA’s problem to enforce in the first place.

The school pick-up/drop-off part is similar to VA’s law allowing that requiring that the firearm remain in the vehicle when on school grounds.

The Maryland General Assembly and the Maryland public have disregarded Fed Gov regulations and laws on marijuana and immigration, among others. CO, OR, CA and others have done the same. Iowa can do the same on firearms if the people there so choose.

But there are states that tried to "ignore" NFA Regulations as well and appear to be on the losing end. As for Marijuana these liberal states are banking on MJ users wanting the "weed" over their guns.

Perhaps like some states do with immigration violations - don't report, don't assist, hinder at any chance.

2A sanctuary jurisdictions will just continue to do what immigration sanctuary jurisdictions do. They won't let their law enforcement personnel cooperate or support the federal government on actions related to the 2A. Iowa will just do the same with this legislation.
