However, in the situation I described I don't now why they would be required to give notice. Maybe I've forgotten that part, but I don't think schools are required to give notice. That's one of the biggest problems with that latest ruling. Cities cannot post, generally, and schools don't need to and probably don't know much about the law that requires other businesses to post.

PC 46.05 states "(2) on the premises where a high school, collegiate, or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place, unless the license holder is a participant in the event and a handgun is used in the event."
INAL but I do not believe the whole park would be off limits because a field in one part of the park is being used for an interscholastic event. If the field is used for public use also then that is where notice that the event is taking place. I see a defense of prosecution if the LTC holder was unaware and no effort to make them aware of what was going on. Again INAL
But is there anything that requires them to give notice? That's my point about how dicey this can be and how problematic this latest ruling is that the park or museum or whatever that isn't controlled or owned by the school could be off limits at all because of a school event.
