School or not?

[maximus2161]

Keith B, that is one of the best examples of circular reasoning I've seen in some time.

Q: Is it a school?
A: Only if it is a school.

Since the TPC doesn't define a school, but does explicitly include "private schools", while not defining those either, the question is, "Does a private enterprise that calls itself an "Academy" and teaches school age children non-academic subjects qualify as a school, in the collective opinion of the board.

I vote, "No", but am not wishing to be a test case.

That is not circular. The name Academy does not in itself mean anything (I carry at Academy Sports all the time. )

Let me first repeat, I Am Not A Lawyer. However, I feel confident in stating that if they are not accredited under the Texas Education Agency or the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission, then they are NOT a school (excluding colleges.) The TEA lists private and charter schools here and the TPSAC lists private schools here

If they don't exist in either of those lists and are not a college, then IMO they are not a school in the definition of prohibiting carry. I repeat, IANAL.

Yes I have seen a lot of confusion because a business has the name "Academy" or "School".
