right, I was accused when I wasnt. therefore, actually doing it will definitely land you in hot water.
KelticKowboy:
When I initially created the post, my understanding of going on school property (k-12) was that I could only OC if I also had a CPL. SpringerXDacp said that when I recieved a "License to Purchace" and register my pistol the law would allow me to OC on school property without a CPL, if I am understanding him correctly. It sounds though that the concensus of those responding is to only OC on school (k-12) property if I have a CPL.
Getting back to my original question, "I am aware that I cannot go onto school proverty OC'ing without a CPL but are there any federal laws about being a certain distance to a school with a gun?" (This question should apply to state laws as well) The reason I am asking this is because I live a half a bock away from a high school and wanted to make sure that I am not breaking any laws when I go for walks. The school is on the opposite side of the road from the subdivision I live in and I usually don't walk directly on the property, but I do walk on the sidewalk across the road from the school.

In MI you can only carry on school property by OCing with a CPL. If you do not have a CPL the MI Pistol Purchaser's Permit may exempt you from the federal 1000 ft. rule, while the MI CPL will exempt you from the federal 1000 ft rule.

possession of a firearm—
(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;

In my mind, since we are required to take a basic knowledge test and pass a NICS check our Permit to Purchase should suffice but my opinion means nothing.

No, that's not what I said. I replyed to your question:
"...but are there any federal laws about being a certain distance to a school with a gun?"
If a resident of Michigan does not have a CPL, the LTP (your registered pistol) is the "license" that exempts you from the 1000 foot law. This does not in any way, shape or form imply OC on school property being legal with a LTP.
