In some spots ...Only a trickle of water separates Texas and Mexico ...C-dub wrote:That is precisely why I am surprised at your answer to situation #2. It is a building where only a doorway separates the church and school. I thought this would be a "no carry."Charles L. Cotton wrote:Correct. Now comes the "lawyer speak;" there is no case law interpreting this part of the statute. That said, the code focuses on the property not the activity. Also, the definition of "premises" that applies to schools and elsewhere, focuses on buildings, not the activities that take place in the buildings.TacShot wrote:Thank you, Charles. It pays to ask! The fact that the university church is a school building caught me by surprise. Are you basing it on it being a building where the activity, no matter what type of activity, is sponsored by the educational institution by virtue of being on the university property? Is the definition so broad as to apply to all buildings on a campus, including, for example, maintenance or storage buildings?
If it were otherwise, then places like libraries and other government-owned buildings could claim that the library is off limits because students are present.
Chas.
Separated must be a key concept/word
Don't cross that separating boundary.
Like "secure area" of an airport/jail-police Station etc ... a foot or so/a few inches .. makes a difference.
