Lesson Overview

2.44 – Federal Laws You Might Break: Bringing a weapon to school doesn’t just break school rules—it can break federal laws too. The Gun-Free School Zones Act makes it a crime to possess a firearm within 1,000 feet of school property. That means you could be charged in federal court, not just state court. Federal cases carry heavier penalties and stay on record longer. They can even affect your ability to vote or get government jobs later in life. Most teens don’t realize how wide these laws reach or how little room there is for mistakes. Learning about federal rules helps you understand how seriously the system takes school safety. Avoiding that level of consequence starts with one simple choice: leave the weapon behind.
