Lesson Overview

11.04 – Federal Gun-Free School Zone Act: The Federal Gun-Free School Zone Act makes it illegal to carry or fire a gun within 1,000 feet of a school zone. It was created to keep students, teachers, and staff safe from violence. Many people don’t realize that even possessing a weapon in a car near a school can lead to federal charges. The law doesn’t only apply to adults—teens are held accountable too. If caught, a student could face suspension, expulsion, and federal court action. Schools often cooperate with law enforcement, which can make the consequences even more serious. Some cases have led to lifelong records and the loss of certain rights. Understanding this law helps young people see that safety zones are taken very seriously. It’s not just about carrying a weapon but about the intent to protect everyone’s well-being. Ignorance of the law is never a valid excuse. Respecting boundaries around schools keeps everyone safer. When safety comes first, schools can remain places to learn, not fear. Federal laws are strict because one act can impact many lives at once.
