I assume the school is owned by the church and not the other way around (church owned by school)? If the former, and there is a clear delinage between church and school, then it should no issue to carry in the church buildings.brewster2012 wrote:So I attend a Church that sponsors a school on the same property. There are, however, designated school buildings and separate Church buildings. No 30.06 signs posted. Thoughts on carrying while attending services in the Church and ministries in the Church buildings on the weekends? Disarming prior to entering the school buildings is obvious.
What about attending Cub/Boy Scout meetings with my sons on the property in Church buildings in the evenings through the week? I am certain that the Church (NOT the school) is the sponsor of the Scout program.
I very much want to abide by the law while staying armed as much as possible. Thanks for your thoughts.

The probelm is if it is actually an acredited private school, then you could have issues. However, most of those I am familiar with have sepreate or distinct school and church portions. If you can stay out of the school portion you should be OK.- Thu Mar 28, 2013 4:01 pm

Re: Church/Daycare facility
PC §46.11. PENALTY IF OFFENSE COMMITTED WITHIN WEAPON-FREE SCHOOL ZONE.
This definition only applies to this statute, 46.11 and if you read that section it specifically says (b) This section does not apply to an offense under Section 46.03(a)(1) which is the statute for CHL carrying related to schools.
SO, that definition does not apply to us. A daycare is not off limits.
