Agreed. But the "premises" defined in the statutes don't say "jogging track" either. You are welcome to use your own common sense.....to me its not worth risking......healthinsp wrote:A jogging track isn't part of a building either unless it's inside.I think your instructor is pushing it a bit. I would leave it in the car. Heres how Texas Penal Code defines "premises".....
PC §46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER.
(3) “Premises” means a building or a portion of a building. The term does not include any public or private driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area.
The jogging track is not part of a driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, or parking area. So I wouldn't push it. I think the intent of the law is to allow people to transport their handgun and be able to leave it in the vehicle or walk vehicle to vehicle without entering school grounds.

Re: Newbie question, I'm confused as can be.
I think your instructor is pushing it a bit. I would leave it in the car. Heres how Texas Penal Code defines "premises".....TrackinPat wrote:So my understanding was that college campuses were not allowed to be carried on even without a 30.06 sign, but in my CHL class yesterday the instructor posed that this was no longer true by giving this scenario, "I can go to Katy high school and carry all around and go jogging on the track, but the moment the band comes out to practice or to the football team comes out I have to leave." Is this true? I live in the Houston area and want to know if I can carry around Lonestar College or if I need to leave it in the car? Obviously I'm several weeks out from facing this dilemma but I just want to know ahead of time.
