School playground -- what makes an activity 'sponsored'
Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2006 3:41 am
I searched the forum before posting, as I didn't want to waste anyone's time. Unfortunately, I didn't find the answer I was looking for.
I recently received my CHL, and I live directly across the street from the elementary school playground. I often take my toddler son over there to play in the afternoons. I have no worries about carrying there most days, but occasionally there are soccer or football practices on part of the playground--20 yds or so from the slides and such my son is on.
My question is: what would make these teams be considered sponsored? I do not believe they are official school teams, nor do I believe they play in a league that involves the school. The coaches are parents of the children. I believe most, if not all, of the children attend this school, and at least one football team has stickers on their helmets the same as the elementary (or maybe high school) mascot.
If my assumptions above are correct as to them being an official school team or in an official school league, is it OK for me to carry at these times? Ambiguous and not worth the risk of a possible court case?
thanks in advance.
