If I am right then in the paradigm you see the world through there is no problem with the gun store. And most likely you are on good legal grounds.
But the majority have a negative view of guns in proximity of schools because of the notorious shootings that have taken place in schools.
I would think that if you were not a self centered person you could understand that and that idea would trump your idea of nothing wrong with the gun store near a school. Is that too much to ask of you?
