I am curious if a permit is considered the same as a license, legally, or is licensed referring to LEO and other armed security personnel? Reason I ask is, in my field of work, there is a big difference with being permitted to perform a task in the hospital as opposed to being licensed by the state. Same goes when comparing a learner's permit versus an actual driver's license. Or am I misinterpreting something? I just wonder if this clarification has been specifically ruled in a court of law? I'm asking for my own education, and not to be confrontational.
I read a law as it is written, and while not a lawyer I had years of experience with lawyers, laws, and courts, as well as being considered a expert witness. IMO the only way a permit is a license to do so is if the state law specifically states that a permit is a license to posses a firearm in a school zone. The wording allows the states to either make it legal or illegal despite the permit. And actually NC concealed carry law specifically points to federal laws as to where a permit holder can and cannot carry. I also consider the GFSZ to be unconstitutional, and counter to claims of commerce. There are already laws on the books to prosecute gang bangers committing crimes on or near school grounds. This law was nothing more than a way to intimidate gun carriers not to carry in urban environment. I think that until the law is overturned that a push should be made to put wording in the concealed carry law to allow both PP and CWP to carry in a GFSZ. Then we would actually be licensed to do so.
