Looked at cargo pants, as with most women's pants...small pockets. Ugh! Might have found some shorts though.

§747.3505 Are firearms or other weapons allowed at my child-care home?
Subchapter S, Safety Practices
Division 1, Safety Precautions
September 2003
High (a) Firearms, hunting knives, bows and arrows, or other weapons kept on the premises of a child-care home must remain in a locked cabinet inaccessible to children during all hours of operation, with the exception of law enforcement officials who are trained and certified to carry a firearm and ammunition.
High (b) You must keep ammunition in a separate locked cabinet and inaccessible to children during all hours of operation.

Interesting question. There are a couple of different reasons that law enforcement officials are allowed to carry firearms and ammunition on premises during the hours of operation. (1) Law enforcement officials who are parents of children in care may need to be at the operation to check on their children and/or pick up/drop off their children and not be able to change from a uniform or otherwise secure their service weapon. These parents may also be present to participate in activities such as field trips, parties, etc. (2) Additionally, law enforcement officials may be called to the operation for a law enforcement purpose and would need to be equipped with their service weapon in the line of duty.
While I understand wanting to feel protected, carrying a firearm and ammunition, concealed or otherwise during the hours of operation is not allowed unless the person carrying is a law enforcement officer.
