How close to a public school is it illegal to have a gun?

500 feet
750 feet
1000 feet
1500 feet

The correct answer is: 1000 feet

Please note that none of the provided measurements for the distance are legally enforced, as the situation varies depending on specific state laws and regulations. However, the most widely accepted measurement is 1000 feet, also known as a "gun free zone". This option strikes a fair balance between ensuring public safety and protecting the right to bear arms. A provides a very small distance, while D is too large of a distance to effectively enforce. B is also incorrect as 1000 feet is more often the standard measurement.
