And the stupid GOP allowed it to continue even when they had the Presidency and both parts of Congress.

A Yup!

The law is stupid.

I don't walk around town, and the MPA should protect me on that matter in my truck.

But with MPA, you cannot open carry. At all. And open carry was the question you were asking. MPA specifically requires the gun to not be in plain sight. It can be concealed on your person, but not openly carried. Also, MPA is not licensed carry. And the only exception of which I am aware for federal GFSZ areas is for someone who has a license issued by the state in which the zone in question is found. You can transport a firearm through a GFSZ, but it can't be carried on your person unless you are licensed by the state in which the zone is found.

I may be wrong about MPA and concealed carry in a school zone without a Texas license, but I'd sure like to see the relevant code if I'm wrong.

Since Texas has reciprocity with Arizona, as long as you obey the Texas LTC laws you should be fine. IANAL

How and if an LEO would react, I can't predict.
