With a Texas resident CHL, you can carry on Texas school property as long as you don't enter the building and as long as there is not a school sponsored function (football game, per rally, etc. etc. going on.) Sounds like the officers know this and that is why they say it is OK.C-dub wrote:I carry into and out of my daughter's school parking lot dropping her off and picking her up. We live close enough to walk and when we do I still carry then. Since I don't have anywhere to secure my gun I don't enter any of the building when we walk. There are several LEO fathers that know this and have said that as long as I do not enter any of the buildings I'm okay. A couple of them are LEO in the city the school is in. I know LEO's are not always the best source for information like this, but if they already acknowledge they don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing then it sounds good enough to me.
Schools are government property and unable to legally post 30.06? I think this is the first time I've heard this. I've never given any real thought as to who owned the property, but have always known that the schools were funded by the people through property taxes and probably by the government itself somehow. I know that in 2005 the Texas Supreme Court declared the whole "Robin Hood" aspect of state funding for lower income school districts unconstitutional. I find the probability that a school cannot legally post a 30.06 sign in their parking lots very interesting. In other threads I thought this had been discussed and determined to be legally doable. Hmmm.
Schools run off of tax money. Anything that is funded by taxes are legally a government entity. Government entities in Texas can't post a 30.06 for their property, unless it is posted for the meeting of a government entity, and that would be covered by the school sponsored event anyway.
There are schools that have them posted (Plano does, and some others) but they are not legally enforceable IMO (IANAL though)
