TXI quoted the Penal Code above, it mentions school transport. I belive your shuttle is a no-no....

That's what I said, or at least what I meant, in different and more words!!!

Unless the school is private and they 30.06 the lot???? that was my point (or maybe question)....

Still Affirmative. The discussion, as I understood it, had evolved to carry (storage) in the vehicle under CHL statutes (not on 'premises' as defined in the penal code. I do understand that carry on the 'premises' is forbidden regardless of public or private, and carry 'off premises' (parking lot) is OK for CHL for public or private, except that a private school could 30.06 the lot or give verbal notice for the lot / walkways, etc.

I wasn't clear before. Is the above correct??

Thanks,

This applies to publicly funded schools. I believe a private school (college / univ) could still restrict based on 30.06 or oral notification.
