See I read it this way: The "any grounds or building on which an activity sponsored by a school or educational institution is being conducted" is defining "physical premises of a school or educational institution" the same way SCOTUS ruled in the Heller case. This would also follow the structure of the rest of the sections where each subsection lists an individual place.Keith B wrote:I don't interpret it that way. TPC 46.03 states 'on the physical premises of a school or educational institution, any grounds or building on which an activity sponsored by a school or educational institution is being conducted, or a passenger transportation vehicle of a school or educational institution, whether the school or educational institution is public or private, unless pursuant to written regulations or written authorization of the institution;'TX_shooter wrote:Off topic but, school sponsored events are only off limits if they are held on school grounds. Interscholastic events are off limits anywhere; a band or choir concert or school play is not an interscholastic event.
IANAL
It does not state school grounds, but any grounds or building (if it was only on school property, any building would be off limits anyway). It also does not state interscholastic events, just a school sponsored event. In turn, the old question comes up about the zoo if they have a field trip. Again, IANAL, don't play one on TV and didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but believe if you are participating in (i.e. attending or viewing) that school event, then carry is off limits to you.
"interscholastic events" are covered in 46.035.
It would be great if Chas could chime in on this.
