This is an image of the school.
The annual summer festival is held in the parking lot in the center of the picture. Carnival rides, game booths, food stands, etc are all in that area. At the entrance to the school gym but still on the parking lot they set up a very tall fence and enclose the bear garden area where there is a stage for the bands. At the entrance of the beer garden ( and ) their typically is one LEO and also 2 large signs on each side that says "No firearms beyond this point".
I've been thinking of this for a while but have not had a chance to post it and I think I know the answer but still want to see what others think.
FACT 1:
The entire block of BOARD, OAK, ELM and LAFAYETTE is school property (minus the sidewalks) and thus is a no gun zone.
FACT 2:
From LAFAYETTE and going EAST to where the 2nd diamond baseball field is at is also part of the school so that is also a school zone (minus the sidewalks again).
So with this in mind what is the point of the signs if the festival is in the parking lot which is school property and thus a gun free zone already.
Is not the school being misleading to it's customers when it post this sign which would then imply that the rest of the festival (in the parking lot) is OK to carry? Grant the law says otherwise and thus you are still in jeopardy. Or would this sign be enough "written notice" to allow you to carry in the other festival areas and thus give one the exception that the law states?
Just wondering. I've only gone once to the fest but that sign has stuck in my mind.
