Driving past schools with my gun on me?

[GregsSmiths]

OK, So I think the answer to my quesion is, I am legal driving by the school with my CCW. BUT if I am in danger of my life by a bad person, I CAN NOT defend myself with my weapon.I can point it at him but not fire it.In that case"THAT WOULD GET ME KILLED BY THE BAD GUY". I would just have to be at the mercy of the bogey man and leave my weapon holstered so I would not go to jail myself for firing my legal CCW.

No, it is not an exception, but it is an affirmative defense.
