A school group can't just commandeer a location and make that location off limits because of who they are.

Now, on the flip side, I teach that if you are involved in the event, such as you go to McDonald's to meet your child's school group for a meal, then you are NOW illegal to carry. Same would be going to a band concert in a mall. If you are there just shopping, and there happens to be a school band playing there, it doesn't make the mall off-limits. If you go to the mall to listen to the concert, then you are part of the activity and can't carry.

Again, this is my interpretation and there has not been a case to set precedence on this statute.
