OK, so, I got into a minor debate with someone on THR not too long ago about OCing inside of 1000 ft of a school. I believe, and I guess still do, that you cannot do this. (But from what I understand, getting your permit gets rid of this little issue though correct?)

That is where the 1000 ft law makes its appearance.
Now, I am concerned here with the same section of that RS that allows me to carry in my vehicle on campus that I have been able to use thus far as a defense against local authorities trying to bust me for carrying in my truck on campus.
Anyways, it has the 'lawfully protected activities' clause in there, which OC is a lawful protected activity, which would seem to say that in fact, so long as you are not commiting a crime, intend to commit one, or are otherwise disallowed from owning a firearm, that you can indeed carry inside that 1000 ft. mark so long as you did not cross onto school grounds?
But, there is that other pesky clause in there about 'cannot be regulated by the state' Going with the example they give, Louisiana provides no regulation on carrying in a vehicle since it is part of your domicile, where-as OC, while perfectly legal, is slightly regulated, (hence the reason we are having this discussion), so it may not fall underneath this exemption, correct?
Thoughts please,
thankyou
(BTW, I recently took my CCW class, nailed everything, now just need to file the paperwork and wait my time!)
