Now I am not a lawyer but the school thing sounds like bull to me, too.

If any place a school field trip may go is off limits, where does that end? If I'm carrying in the local McDonald's and a school field trip stops in there to eat on the way to their destination, am I suddenly in violation? That's the implication from the zoo saying you can't carry because schools hold field trips there.

I would think you can't carry at the location IF YOU'RE PART OF THE FIELD TRIP as a teacher or parent chaperone, etc. Making it a criminal offense for someone who isn't part of the field trip to carry some place he may be that a school sponsored activity happens to show up to makes absolutely no sense to me.

The Dallas Zoo is still owned by the city, even though it's managed by a private company, so the 30.06 sign is unenforceable. As for the school designation, come on. How is the zoo a school? They have what they call a preschool, but a quick perusal of their website shows it's really a series of daytime activities for a child to participate in with his parent. I can find nothing which shows them to be an accredited educational institution.
