Thank you for your helpful reply.
Since I was taking our visitors to both museums I went ahead and disarmed in the car.
Thanks for pointing out the information about the TNSC, I was probably just too tired after trying to search the LBJ museum to see correctly.
I still have no idea about the LBJ presidential museum, but will write them a polite letter inquiring, and will post if I get a response. I just need to ponder my language a bit to not add to my government file and avoid any taxpayer money from being wasted kicking down my door.
And sorry if I rambled or ranted about schools too much. I have two children in school, and it's still just so very frustrating and seemingly idiotic to lock a firearm in the car 4 or more times a day.
Thanks again.

Prohibited? LBJ library, Memorial Museum, UT, school events?
I don't know if this is "general" or "newbie" but I'm hoping someone can help clarify if concealed carry is prohibited at the LBJ Presidential Library and/or the Texas Memorial Museum (in Austin, TX)?
1. The LBJ Presidential library, while I visited their website & tried Google but I can't tell if it's federal property, UT campus, or other. Does anyone know if CHL CC carry is prohibited at the library?
2. The Texas Memorial Museum. Correct me if wrong, but normally a museum would need to post per 30.06 to be "off limits" (to law abiding CC'ers), but after campus carry failed, I saw a number of posts saying that all buildings on the UT campus prohibited firearms including CHL CC (again, only to the law abiding of course). The Museum is located well within the UT campus, but does that make it a "school" building and thus prohibited? Can anyone clarify if the Museum would need to post if they wished to prohibit CC (and if so, is it posted), or is it already excluded as "school" property?
3. More generally, is there clarification on what constitutes a school sponsored activity anyway? And am I correct that CCing while outside on the UT campus (or other school) is not prohibited? Am I in violation of law if a school sponsored pre-game pep rally or car wash starts and I don't immediately depart? Or if you're in the city's public library (where 30.06 posting is prohibited by law) and a school group comes in on a field trip, and I suddenly in violation if I don't immediately leave?
Sorry if these are basic questions, or have been hashed out repeatedly somewhere, it's just so frustrating and seemingly unnecessarily complex. I've tried both the local search & google, but am clearly not proficient enough. And I'm clearly no lawyer, but the statues all seem to have been written for and by them. Thanks for the help.
