If you feel there is an issue with this then you can take it up with the school board (since they approved its location) and argue our case. If they decide not to remove the sign then you will be in violation every time you enter the parking lot to pick up your child - end of story.
Might be end of story for you, however, I disagree. Please cite the legal basis for your conclusion.
Some food for thought - I was shocked to learn this:
Lets say you are sitting at a local all you can eat pizza place - you have been there with your family for 2 hours (making a point) - when a school bus loaded with kids pulls up and out pour 30 kids on a field trip. If you are carrying - you must remove your ccw immediately or you are in violation.
You read this right folks - even if you are there for 2 hours prior to them showing up - you are in violation for not leaving to lock up you firearm.
Under this assumption you have already violated the law without having the opportunity to leave. Again, I disagree.
Does this make any more sense than a 30.06 sign blocking the entrance to pick up a child? No, but the law is the law.
The Plano ISD is a government body. There are restrictions to their posting a LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE 30.06 sign. Just because they have posted them does not make them enforceable. You make take the ride but I highly doubt there will be any attempt at prosecution. (IANAL / YMMV / all that other stuff.)
