Are you saying: I am sitting in McDonald's and a bus rolls up and 40 school kids that just arrived from a match are coming to eat, I now have to leave? Or, I am at the local Putt Putt playing a round and a school shows up for some event, I now have to leave?
Sorry, I read your statement 4 times and can't quite get the gist of what you are saying.
If I am carrying at a public place and a "school sponsored activity" randomly comes along and enters the same public place where I am already located, I'll take my chances. And honestly, I don't say that often. I almost always error on the side of caution to a fault when it comes to legally carrying. But that line of thinking is absolutely ridiculous on its face.
In the OP's stated situation, I think the potential is there that the law was violated because he willingly participated in this activity (depends - as has been discussed - on some obscure legal definition of "school sponsored activity"). But if we all have to vacate any area as soon as school kids show up, then there is no point in having a CHL at all. I am no lawyer and don't know much about "the law" in practical terms - but I gotta think a competent judge/jury would see the preposterousness of thinking this was the legislative intent of 46.03(a)(1)
