If it is an enclosed structure on owned by the school, then no you cannot carry there. Also, you said your son's sport was a league, but why are they allowed to use the school athletic fields? There may be a gray area if the school is sponsoring the league in a manner that they are allowing them to use the field at no cost. I am not a lawyer, but if I were a DA and wanted to push the issue I could argue that the school was sponsoring the event by giving them the fields to play on at no charge.
Sorry for the late response, I was at another practice yesterday. The sport lacrosse is not recognized in Texas as a school sport. So we joined a league which has permission to use school grounds for games, not practices. Practices are held on a city park with no 30.06 sign.

It really is one of the gray areas and I have had that self question many times. The Libertarian in me wants to keep carrying there.

It's a very interesting conversation. I went this evening to my other sons lacrosse game. The field is on school property. There is a fence around the field, but anyone can enter the stands. There is no gate or fence around the stands.

Great to know! I always thought that I couldn't carry on the grounds of the school and in the stands at the sporting event. They have a bathroom under the bleachers, which I assume would be considered inside the school.

Re: Carrying at my son's soccer practice

Great help, thanks!

The good news for me is that the league is not school sponsored. The practices are not on school grounds. The games are and I leave my gun in the car.

Carrying at my son's soccer practice

I know that I can not carry at a sporting event, but can I carry at my child's practice? The fields are over 500 yards away from the parking lot. The walkway is lit only 50% of the time and quite frankly I do not feel safe all of the time.

Question, can I carry at a sporting practice?
