Fox Valley Tech is not a school as defined by the laws making the “(legal) gun-free” school zones.
The high school is. (K-12)

HOWEVER… both state & federal “GF”SZ laws make exceptions for activities approved by the school (or the school board, etc.).

So no, the HS instructors weren’t breaking the law, & neither are the proto-cops.

You can go to the DOJ website, or Sen. Galloway’s website, to get a pair of FAQs.
Better yet, read the new law yourself:
https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/acts/35.pdf
It’s only 20 pages, which IIRC is shorter than the DOJ FAQ.

Paul – with a permit you’re allowed in the magical 3-block protective bubble around schools, however you want to carry: openly, concealed, loaded, unloaded, encased… You may NOT take that firearm onto school property, even if it’s in your car unloaded & in a locked case & you have a permit.

Without a permit, you may be armed on private property (not owned by the taxpayers), but once you step onto the public sidewalk or are in your car on the public street within that magic bubble the gun must be unloaded & in a LOCKED case.

If you “know, or reasonably should have known” that you were too near a school (and we’re talking K-12 here) you could be convicted. One reason people are so rarely charged is that it can be hard to prove someone knew where a school was.

I (obviously) live in Milwaukee (MKE), a town that’s lousy with unmarked school zones, so I’ll be getting a permit to protect myself from overzealous police & persecutors.

In appleton the police science class is taught at fox valley tech. I beleve students are still required to bring there side arms to class on certain days.

I also took a hunters safty class at a local high school with my son. The instructors had several firearms for teaching.

Are future police and firearms instructors comitting a felony?

On page 9 of SB 93 – bottom of page.
Gun Free School Zones
Under the bill, the penalty is the same ( Class I felony) for possessing a firearm in or on the grounds of a school. Under the bill the penalty is lower (Class B forfeiture) if a person possesses a firearm at a place the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school.

With this the Question is…
If you live within 1,000 feet of a school, or pass on the city streets within 1,000 feet of a school are you in violation, as a permit holder while armed ??? In my City I don’t think you could go anywhere, and not be within 1,000 of any school, or very close to one.
