That makes people that don't know any better believe that the parking lot is off limits as well.
I think that if the school district posts the sign at the entrance it is enforceable, government owned property or not as the wording says property not premises but that's my thoughts not case law. so far the only one I am aware of the charges were dropped so no case law. The argument continues about school property being government or not, until that's really settled its going to be a grey area in the law
To a point, I agree. My three-times-a-week bike ride takes me close to two different school properties. The kids from either school can all over the bike path so when school is in, I'm concerned that their being their could be a "school sponsored activity" and some over-zealous enforcement would lead to me sitting in the back of a police car. I've decided to take my chances on those rides and limit my arsenal to the a big can of pepper spray. Aside from those rides, I never leave the house unarmed.
I'm amazed at how I can be a law abiding citizen 98% of the time and be pre-judged as a potential criminal the other 2%. Of course, then there is the Post Office and COE land so maybe it isn't 2% after all.
