Re: School carry - not the same old thread

What is curious about the law is it does not say WHO may grant permission... that leaves a lot open to discussion.

Does anyone know, or even heard of, any one giving or getting permission to carry at school. I'll even settle for carry with limitations, i.e. after school.

The law allows the possibility but really, what board or administrator would ever sign off on it? Right or wrong, I wouldn't either in their position, too much liability...I think but IANAL.

So the State writes it in, for some reason, knowing (maybe) that no district would ever allow it. Just seems to be a waste of ink. A mirage of a dangling carrot that can never be obtained. Or am I missing something? Did the lawmakers invision a stituation where an administration would grant carry permission? If so, what is it? Is there a loophole short of a shooter on campus? Is there a hole card that we haven't found.

Faculty and staff at big ISDs may be out of luck but someone at a smaller rural school or private school may have slightly better odds of convincing the powers.

BTW, I asked my Super for permission to carry if I came up on weekends or nights. He would not give me written permission.
