The only way I see around this issue is to find a place (friendly gunshop, friends house, etc) nearby the school to store your gun during the day (slim possibility), OR to get permission from the school (written, by an administrator) to store the pistol somewhere in their facility (nearly impossible). One final alternative might be some type of public storage facility (lockers in a nearby bus station, etc) although disarming and rearming anywhere in public would be a bit of a pain.pmw wrote:Soon I will be doing 12 weeks of student teaching at a Richardson ISD high school. I have a CHL. I intend to take the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (our bus and rail mass transit system) to and from the school to which I am assigned.
I would love to be able to carry on the ride to and from the school. The ride is over an hour each way and involves transfers. I would be traveling when it's dark, both in the morning and probably in the evening. However, for obvious reasons, I would not be able to carry into the buildings of the school. Is there a solution?
Is there a site that allows people who live next to public schools to coordinate efforts, so that those who work at public schools but take public transportation can stop by in the morning and evening and pick up and drop off (respectively) their handgun? I don't mind walking/bicycling somewhere nearby twice a day...
Or is there another solution?
If any of these slim possibities actually work out for you, be SURE you use a securely (locked, with you retaining the key) storage method while you're not in control of your gun.
Good luck...
