I probably won't step foot on another college campus until the time comes for my nephews, nieces, friends kids, and daughter graduates high school. Most of these are all held on college campuses. It stinks that I must disarm before going in.

I think he mentioned that in another post. Fortunately, this is the circumstance for me and I think it is unlikely that mine would post such a sign.

Plano! That's the one I was thinking of. I wonder if there's been any clarification of this by the Plano PD or courts, but I doubt it.

I carry into and out of my daughter's school parking lot dropping her off and picking her up. We live close enough to walk and when we do I still carry then. Since I don't have anywhere to secure my gun I don't enter any of the building when we walk. There are several LEO fathers that know this and have said that as long as I do not enter any of the buildings I'm okay. A couple of them are LEO in the city the school is in. I know LEO's are not always the best source for information like this, but if they already acknowledge they don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing then it sounds good enough to me.

Schools are government property and unable to legally post 30.06? I think this is the first time I've heard this. I've never given any real thought as to who owned the property, but have always known that the schools were funded by the people through property taxes and probably by the government itself somehow. I know that in 2005 the Texas Supreme Court declared the whole "Robin Hood" aspect of state funding for lower income school districts unconstitutional. I find the probability that a school cannot legally post a 30.06 sign in their parking lots very interesting. In other threads I thought this had been discussed and determined to be legally doable. Hmmm.

I agree that the choice would be nice. I've been in a couple of states where open carry was legal, but didn't choose to do so. It just wasn't right for me at that time. I think the only reason I would open carry would be a matter of convenience due to weather or clothing options for whatever activity I would be attending. However, if I had to choose I would definitely support the Parking Lot Bill over open carry first. Open carry would not solve the problem of my employer not allowing us to keep our weapons in our vehicle in the company lot.
