I know there is Fed Law you can't have a firearm on school grounds now but is there a distance from school property restricted?

The reason I'm asking is I would like to train my little coon dog pup close to home & is now close to school property. From my figuring 18 yrs ago I got permission from a man in a real estate group owner to hunt a pup, that I had then, on this property. Old Buster started losing his sight & died a few years ago & I haven't gone there till last winter. A couple of years ago the county built a school next to this property.

My kids gave me a pretty Walker puppy for Christmas. While I out of work, from a hernia operation, I took her down there in the daytime, getting her used to going in the woods. Last spring started taking her at night. The other night, Penny got over on some posted land. I figured I better find out who the owner is because in SC, you are not supposed to go on posted land to get a treeing dog without the owner's permission. I got on the county web site to find the land owner & discovered the land that Penny & I had been using, has been sold.

I haven't been carrying my 22 since it's close to school property. Even though the property I've been taking her to isn't posted, I still want the owner's permission. Penny sometimes doesn't chase deer & rabbis, but trees. The leaves will be gone in a few weeks. I need to shoot one down for her.

If I can't have a firearm there, I'll have to ask to just run the dog instead of hunt.

Do any of you know the law on firearms & schools?
