I would hope he appeals this all the way to the Supremes. The Gun Free Zones are unconstitutional and are magnets for psycho/criminals to go on a shooting spree. This law needs to be repealed.

I am not sure that is true. The Second Amendment does not say "the right to keep and bear arms ANYWHERE shall not be infringed," as one clearly has the choice to decide not to go where they are forbidden without having the right to carry infringed. In the days of the Founders, there were places "gentlemen" did not take their weapons. Said weapons were also slow to implement and unlikely to be concealable. So, to clarify your post, is there anywhere a person should not be allowed to carry? What about on the private property of another? What about the Senate chamber or the SCOTUS? Are you really thinking that the Black Panthers should be able to carry their AR-15s into the SCOTUS chambers? Even with armed guards present, just one of them could knock off three justices before anyone else could take him down. Let's say it was Scalia, Thomas, and Alito... What would you say then with Zero naming their replacements? Have you really thought this through?

If I were on his jury, I'd nullify the law.
