A citizen complained to the Attorney General that the Elgin ISD was violating the law by excluding handgun license holders from carrying their guns into the school administration building. The school had posted the appropriate signs just inside the two front entrances of the building. Everyone knows that guns are prohibited in the building where the teachers and the kids are. But what about the admin building?
The AG concluded that the district did not violate the law:
Having concluded that the district is an educational institution pursuant to Penal Code Section 46.03(a)(1), the OAG determines the signage at the front entrance of the district’s administration building is not in violation of section 411.209 of the Government Code. The OAG is closing this complaint.
This is from a letter dated April 29, 2016, signed by Assistant Attorney General Matthew Entsminger, closing out OAG Complaint No. 23.
DAWG BONE: THE A.G. VIEWS THE ADMIN BUILDING AS A PLACE WHERE GUNS ARE PROHIBITED.
