I can't give you any more scenario's, I have given plenty.

If you choose to leave a location because a school bus showed up, and you had nothing to do with the school event, its up to you.

Me, no way.
it does not make sense that if I am at the Houston Zoo, and was there at 0900, and at 0905 a school bus shows up that is obviously a school event, that I must leave, disarm and come back, or not come back.
Sorry you cannot understand that, lets agree that i cannot convince you.

zero4o3 wrote:could you post it?

Nope, cant post it, as obviously it is not there.

If you are at the movie theater watching Kung Fu Panda 2, and it walks a school bus full of people, do you leave?
If you are at the zoo, and there are school kids daily at the zoo, on school trips, do you leave?
If you are McDonald's having a bite to eat, a school bus shows up with kids returning from a sporting event, do you leave?

In all 3 above, no, I do not leave.

It all comes down to Intent.
I was not there with the intent to be part of the school sponsored event.

They showed up, when I was there. I didn't ask them to come and can't tell them to leave. But since I am not with them, there is no association and no intent.

Unless your kid was in that 3rd grade class, and you "just happened to be there", well then yes, you should have known and need to disarm, but if I (no kids) go to Putt Putt and 97 school buses show up with kids, all showing Clear Creek School District on them and signs saying "We are a school sponsored event", I would continue to play on and carry my weapon, I am in no way affiliated with them. Therefore the activity I AM DOING, is not school sponsored, nor affiliated with them whatsoever.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying

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.

even still, isn't the end goal for the school?
Therefore, in my eyes, right or wrong, I would NOT carry there.

Thats a good point johnson0317.
If LR95597 was at the event with the intent of attending the school booster club, to me, that would have made carrying an off-limits situation.
Just like going to the zoo, with the class field trip.

Now if LR95597 just happened to be at the restaurant and the boosters walked in, and LR95597 was not related at that time, then no issues.

As far as getting outed that way, well, it will happen.
