not sure if school dress codes apply to parents and visitors. But if I were a school administrator I would have a school dress code for visitors because there are some things I would want the ability to send visitors away for. Inappropriate language on t-shirts for example.
That said. Most schools now have a strict "nothing gun related" dress code for students, staff and faculty. Agree or disagree, it's best to abide by the dress code...
Otherwise I think that you did well and nice work sending the follow up email. I probably would have told the woman, that "next time I will leave the holster in the car or cover it up when I come inside" If she pressed me to untuck my shirt and cover it up then and there I probably would have or would have removed the holster and stowed it in a jacket pocket or in the wife's purse or something.
To me, obeying the dress code is a small thing compared to being required to leave the gun in the car. I'm already required by law to leave my gun. I might as well go along with concealing my holster as well. But I CC so they wouldn't see my empty holster even if I did wear it inside.

21 posts. One post in the "General Texas CHL Form" having to do with self-defense insurance, one in this thread about display of empty holsters at a grammar school under the "Gun and/or Self-Defense Related Political Issues" forum, and
19 posts in a thread about Open Carry at the Texas State Fair in the "Open-Carry Discussions" forum. This thread has a distinctive whiff of a "They Who Shall Not be Named" flavor, with some open-carry overtones.

I don't think it was me he was referring to as a troll. I don't know what shall not name group you're referring to, but I don't belong to any gun organizations. I had to open and switch to this user name after my other got locked for unknown reasons. Previously, I was "So Confused" here.
I was. Not trying to ugly, it is just your speech and methods echo that of the trolls.

I checked the dress code and they don't have one specifically for parents or visitors. I agree about the dress code. I ALWAYS open carry if possible, but if a business has 30.07 posted, I'll untuck and patronize them anyway, seeing it the same as having to wear a suit jacket or tie to a fancy place.

It's kinda related. I think his point was that although I might win the right to carry an empty holster in court, what sane person would take that to court?

Yessir. You'll notice partway through the thread where "So Confused" stops and I pickup.

Once you are told to leave you are no longer authorized to be there.
