And some states don't have that prohibition. The federal code I cited allows those exceptions if the state so chooses. Which is why I used the term "not necessarily illegal".
In my state of residence, it is perfectly legal for a Utah resident with a CFP to have firearms on public school property or in the schools themselves (this includes teachers and other school employees also). Some other states have similar laws in effect.
Ultimately, it is the duty of the person proposing to carry a firearm, or parts thereof, onto school property to ascertain that the laws in effect expressly allow him to do so.
