Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Say no more.

If 46.15 were so amended, there's still 46.035 to contend with (although I imagine Charles has that in mind.)

What I'm thinking of is that although we'd be able to carry on/in "any grounds or building on which an activity sponsored by a school or educational institution is being conducted," (46.03, emphasis added) we would still be prohibited from carrying "on the premises where a high school, collegiate, or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place" (46.035).

Charles, I don't have access to your Bill File. Is this school conundrum sufficiently addressed already?

And as we all remember from class, 46.035 is also the part that prohibits carry in 51% businesses and correctional facilities. I'm OK with not carrying at the latter.

Let me add to the wish list two things I've already PM'd to Charles --

I respect private property rights and the point of 30.06, but to make sure public school districts can't post it, wording might need to be added to expand the ban on posting for "governmental entities" to include any "taxing entity" (or "authority," whatever the proper legal term is).

Also, I work for a state agency in a state-owned building. So we obviously can't post 30.06. But our agency policy manual says employees can't carry. Drives me crazy. If there's any way to fix that, I'd be all for it.
