What I'm thinking about here is the word "providing", if a school is closed,
and there is no one providing instruction in kindergarten or grades
1 to 12, inclusive. Do we still have to keep our guns locked up within 1000'?
Seems to me if they wanted guns to be kept out of the 1000' zones 24/7, 365
they would have said.
Maybe Im way off base, but how I read it is that the 1000' "school zone" only
exists when the school is providing instruction. Not when the school is
closed and empty, therefore no instruction is being provided.
