why don't you explain the reason for a gun free zone and it's implications
Okay. These gun free zones are supposed to be magical barriers that stop crazed mass murderers from using a gun to kill people.
Uh.. newsflash Wry, they don't work. This isn't Harry Potter!
No, they are not barriers, magical or otherwise. That you're ignorant is not a surprise. In terms even you might understand, gun free zones are areas wherein any crime committed, whether a gun is used or simply possessed, and an arrest is made the possession of a gun enhances the penalty.
Example, just for you. You enter a gun free zone and go to the bookstore, carrying your favorite gun concealed, and steal a pen. Upon being arrested for petty theft the gun is found and the complaint filed by the DA alleges petty theft and possession of a gun in a gun free zone.
Upon conviction you are sentenced to one day county jail for the theft, and 365 days county jail for the possession.
Of course if you had a prior conviction for theft, and had spent one day in jail on that matter, the second conviction for theft can be filed as a felony; In that case if convicted with a gun you could spent 366 days in St. Prison for the petty with a prior, and a second 365 days for the gun served consecutively.
Get it now? Laws do not prevent crime, crimes are punished and that is what keeps society relatively safe.
