This was my thought as well. If it's a college graduation and not posted, go for it. If high school, I would leave it in the car.
If it is a College graduation and not posted, some of us will be able to defend ourselves. None of the highschoolers are going to have that option. For me, that would be even more of a reason to carry.
That is absolutely a reason we should be allowed to carry. However, under current law it would be illegal to do so if at a school-sponsored event. If I remember correctly, the penalties are also much higher than just carrying past a 30.06 sign (which is also illegal, and I'm not advocating doing so).
I hadn't even thought about it as a "school-sponsored" event only as a "non sporting" event.

As long as they didn't post it 30.06 while determining their "exclusion zones" you're correct, it's not a sporting event and you're good to carry.
Yea that's kind of that I figured and they did not to my knowledge include that in the "exclusion zone".

A google search for their policy will probably tell you if it's off limits or not.
:iagree:

From what I found ticketed "performance venues" can be granted temporary exclusion if requested. Other events may be granted temporary exclusion with notice 90 days in advance.

I'm feeling it's going to be hit or miss on a graduation.
