I agree that some parents and coaches lose their minds at these games. It isn't them I would think about when I carry though. Most of that is anger but doesn't turn violent. It is the random nut that decides he/she wants to become famous by doing something at a game that only a gun could stop. We don't have a LEO at any of our games and it would take a few minutes for one to get there. It might have been unthinkable in the past for some nut to use the event to do something but not today.

Volunteers, coaches and umpires should be aware buildings on school property meet the definition of "Premises" and carry is not an option. So, if I had to go to a restroom or work in a concession I would have to disarm. Any umpire that wants to carry may want to reconsider just how he/she is going to conceal since most have to change in a building since they don't want to wear their gear to and from the games. Coaches going into an equipment shed may be breaking the law even in entering the shed to get equipment. Those in areas where LEOs tend to look for charges even when a CHL is otherwise law abiding should be aware of the law and a potential problem. This is especially true in small towns where fields are located on school property as is every field in my area. I don't know of any exception just because the little league uses the property or that a building would not be considered off limits just because school is out. Even entering a building during summer break isn't legal. Concealed means concealed and I didn't even think of where we play as being school property until this year.

Bottom line, carry if you want, but make sure to add an extra layer of heat shield so you don't get so mad you loose your cool and do something stupid.

Thanks Keith, my point exactly. OIOW, if you have to ask, just don't do it.
