My only thought is that I can't think of a way to carry on body that I would feel comfortable with while playing basketball. There may be one; I just don't have one. If it's in a bag near you, that would probably be okay, but I would keep a real close eye on that bag.

Thank you for the response. Yeah, I can't think of a way to carry and play but usually when we do play, it's just us so I feel ok with having my phone and wallet in a backpack off to the side, so now that I can carry I might be ok with having it my backpack as well. I don't feel ok leaving it in the car which is out of my site. And where my backpack would sit is no more then a few yards from where we actually play. It'll just sit right outside the concrete court.

Too risky to leave it in a bag beside the court while you play. I'd rather have it locked in my locked box cable-tied to the underside of my carseat for security reasons.

If you don't have a locking box in your car for your gun, then you should consider getting one. I got mine from this company:

It comes with a cable that can be attached through the locked box and to the rails under your car seat. Without a locked box you have to consider whether your gun is more likely to be stolen out of your car or out of your backpack.

I don't even care to leave my wallet and keys in my duffle bag by the court when I play because I can't keep my eye on it while I'm playing basketball.
I definitely want to get a lock box for my vehicle. So thanks for this!

School playground

Is it illegal to carry on person or in a duffle bag or back pack a handgun on a school playground? The reason I ask is because once a week a few guys from the neighborhood like to play pick up basketball at the local elementary school in the neighborhood. I know you can't carry in a school but what about on their playground/ track / basketball court? Or is it best to just leave it in the car? Which I have no problem doing but I am curious.
