Is it illegal to carry there? Sometimes I do, but I'm afraid if I'm ever caught I might be in trouble. What do you think? (It's kind of on the bad side of town - so I definitely feel better carrying)

That is correct. A school building is still a school, even outside of school hours.lrb111 wrote:If it were simply a church building they would have to post the 30.06 sign, or tell you "No". Meaning you would be OK as LT said.
However, you are in the premises of a school building. The only exception I know of in the law is for law enforcement. If they were having a revival in parking lot, or a tent meeting, you would be ok. Just not in the buildings.
Lock it in the car while inside the school...Centari wrote:Our church is currently meeting in a public school. We have church when the school is shut down on the weekends.

You can't expect every LEO to know every aspect of every law. BUT you would think that a LEO who works for the school district would know what constitutes "premises" of a school.KBCraig wrote:Ignorance abounds, even among people who should know better.george wrote:Our church was doing the same thing.
We had an Alvin ISD cop working traffic for us. He told me that I would be in violation, even in the parking lot.
Was it Lacy? I hate to throw mud but he truly is nuts. He pulled me over for passing him on 35, not speeding but passing him. He claimed he was a State LEO and passing him was illegal. I had a relative on duty with APD and she came by and told him straight where to go. Never got a good answer why he was patrolling 35 when there arent any schools there.george wrote:Our church was doing the same thing.
