picking up/dropping off kids at school

[eachitandi]

Yesterday I was wondering if I'm restricted to staying inside my truck while dropping off or picking up children from school. I must travel to 3 different schools to get the kids and one of the schools requires the parents to walk up and retrieve their children as they are lined up outside. At my second stop there was a local leo waiting. I have been disarming at home before going to pick them up, so I walked over to the Leo's car to discuss it with him....

Anyone have an opinion on this before I reveal what the leo told me?

Now or July 1, 2014 and beyond?

Now... am I legal to exit my vehicle and walk up to the entrance to get my kid who is waiting outside the school in line....(I was surprised at the Leo's reply)

It matters very little what the leo told you. What matters is the actual law.

The LEO is incorrect. See above post.

No. As of now, you cannot leave a firearm in your car.

I just asked a similar question not long ago. I was told SB229 fixes this issue, but for now I think you are breaking the law, after July 1st you will no longer be breaking the law.

I haven't reveled what the leo told me so how can you know he was incorrect?

And unless I'm missing something, the law states you can carry to pick up and drop off, but doesn't specify if you must remain in your vehicle...

Yes it does. It says "while operating".

No. As of now, you cannot leave a firearm in your car.

I didn't say anything about leaving it in my car....If I carry to retrieve kids, can I get out of my vehicle with it on my hip (I conceal) to walk up to the door?

You're lack of correct punctuation lead me to read the post below as a statement rather than a question. My fault I guess. BRB with the code so you can see that you're incorrect about getting out of the vehicle.

Ok... leo told me I would not be breaking the law as long as I didn't go inside the school. He then added that it was a stupid law because someone who wants to shoot up a school will go in regardless.

Abso-****ing-lutely not!! Not even after July 1st. (unless you're leo and just messing with us)

Congrats on your future incarceration.

But can you point out in IC as to were it says you can? A LEO's thoughts has very little weight in a court room. (but +1 to the LEO).
