Re: consent to carry on school premises
"A" board can authorize almost anyone to carry concealed in any or all facilities owned or operated by the district. In practice, it just doesn't happen very often.

Re: consent to carry on school premises
Well, they have to have some sort of license to be a security guard who is openly armed. I remember years ago the first school I attended for chl licensing also trained guys for security and other vocations. I don't know what the law says about an armed guard entering a facility, but also, if the board hires a company to handle cafeteria and athletic receipts and accept that he is armed, that is in writing and presumably legal.howdy wrote:gdanaher wrote:The only folks inside a Texas school with a gun (with those few exceptions approved by local boards) are sworn police officers.

Sort of an extreme approach to guarantee you can carry in a school, but that's about the only exception, and still might be frowned upon by the locals. As for me, I am good with leaving the gun behind. I don't need the felony.
I have seen armed Brinks truck guards walk to the back of our elementary school to get cafeteria money. No one even looks at the guy. I don't know if they have permission of the district or even need it. How do you feel about this?
