But the Gun Free School Zone is all property within 1000 feet of a school, including private property. The deal is a private property owners get an exception on their property, but no one else does.
That isn't quite correct for the federal GFSZ act. It simply does not apply to private property. There is no requirement for a person to be the property owner.

However we were unable to take our weapons into the school if we were going to pick up our kids or doing any business on the school. My curiosity was because I (as I have not received my CHL yet everything stays home until I go to the range) live 5 houses away from a high school. I plan to travel that way going to and from work (fastest way).
A licensee is allowed to have the handgun on school grounds, but is not allowed to carry into any buildings. A licensee also cannot carry at any school activities.
