For what it's worth, not everyone agrees with that assessment. I do, but my instructor was of the opinion that a CHL needs to leave if a school group shows up. So you may hear two different things on this subject, and I guess ultimately you have to decide what you think the law intends and/or how you think it will be enforced.Teamless wrote:Much like going to the Zoo.
The Zoo (Houston) is OK to carry, as long as you are not with any school functions
If a school shows up, you are STILL ok to carry, as long as you are not with them.
My take on it is this: I've been to the State Capitol a time or two. There are an awful lot of school functions at the State Capitol. Field trips all over the place. And yet, I've never seen the DPS guys close down the CHL line with a little sign that says, "School group on premesis; no CHLs permitted." Seems like if the law was meant to work that way, they'd make some sort of effort toward enforcing it. I'd understand if they didn't go hunt down every CHL in the building and tell 'em to leave, but you'd think they'd stop letting us in. Instead, as far as I can tell, they watch the school group go through the metal detectors and they keep right on admitting CHLs. I know it's not ironclad, but it's the best interpretation I've got until someone feels inclined to clear up the wording of the law.
