Re: Carrying in a public daycare?

My kids are in a daycare as well. I read through the manual. They do not have correct signs posted, but their policies say no weapons. If you are licensed to carry, they ask that you leave it in your vehicle. Violation will result in no longer being able to use their facilities. I would assume that qualifies as notice. Either way, I will have to disarm when I pick up my kids, b/c I do not want to go through the hassle of finding another daycare.
It would not qualify in terms of notice for criminal trespass. It is written notice, and, therefore, must be written in the exact terms laid out in PC 30.06. You could not be arrested for criminal trespass without receiving a verbal notice (or better written notice first). It is, however sufficient notice that they can kick your kids out of their daycare for violating their policy. Just like the many non-compliant policy manuals at folks' workplaces that state "no guns." They can fire you, but you aren't committing a crime.

To the OP, I do not believe that a simple daycare is off-limits, and I carry at my son's day-care when applicable. When my son attended a private school that also provided daycare, however, I could not.
