Just to clarify, if it is a sporting event (even if you have written permission to carry in school facilities) concealed carry would be off limits.jonnyboy01 wrote:My daughter is heavily involved in the school so I am constantly going to games/other activities inside their buildings. Thanks to everyone for the good info. Lost of info to process but as of right now I don't think I am ready to single myself out. And the more I think about I could see that being the case. It's sad that we always have to consider the whole people hear gun and suddenly can't distinguish good from bad guys and forget bad guys wouldn't care about signs and/or laws. Again thank you!jmra wrote:There are some districts that have given select employees permission to carry after they undergo additional training/evaluations.

As far as nothing to lose by asking, I wouldn't bet on that. If the admin is anti-gun you will never be viewed in the same light. You will be followed in places you were previously allowed to go unescorted. You will be denied access to areas that were available to you previously. You will treated like a criminal.
The only way I would dream of asking is if you have formed a relationship with the decision makers and are aware that they have a pro 2A view. I would also want a certain assurance that if my request was denied, I wouldn't be outed. More than likely the Campus Admin is not involved in the decision process so I wouldn't waste my time there. You will need to get to an influential board member or a Superintendent who is willing to act without seeking approval from the board or who has enough pull to persuade the board.
ETA: How much time do you spend inside the building at the school? Are you aware that you can carry outside the buildings as long as you are not attending a sporting event or other organized activity?

Re: consent to carry on school premises
There are some districts that have given select employees permission to carry after they undergo additional training/evaluations. I don't know of any district that has given a parent permission to carry and I would be shocked (from a perceived liability standpoint) if any did.
