Yeah, I don't blame you.Just not sure being it's a school field trip. I work in a school and wish I could cc at work. Maybe one day.
Thankyou for the advice
At one time there was a law that made any school function a GFZ. Solid 2A supporters got that changed. If a school field trip visited a dairy farm, the farmer was committing a felony (ever met a farmer who wasn't a gun owner??)Just not sure being it's a school field trip.

Well crap, I did not know there was a corn maze in the 'Tuck. I would have brought the grand-kids. Maybe next year.
I don't see it as a gray area- it's your land, your rules, they are invited subject to your rules. It is not a school. If they don't like your rules they can go elsewhere. Having said that, I would suggest to keep it very well concealed to avoid any snowflakes complaining or creating a scene. Oh, and make sure your excess liability insurance is adequate just incase you would happen to have an AD, or a need to actually use your weapon.

Generally speaking you would be correct. Unless the property is leased to a school for their exclusive use. Then school property rules apply. As such you would have to have permission of the school board or fall under one of the other exemptions. But that should be pretty easy to write into the lease.
So school comes by for a field trip and just purchases tickets or is allowed for free no school property, school leases the property for their exclusive use school property.
Under the old law the farmer would have been legal, there was an exemption for the owner of the property and anyone they authorized. I don't know why but when they changed the law that exemption was removed. Could of been intentional, could have simply been a mistake/oversight. There is a member on here who owns rental property that is/was rented by a preschool/day care, he can't carry there if he goes in for maintenance or any other reason without their permission.
Read the law. It's pretty clear. 35-47-9.
Even when it was unlawful to carry at a property being used by a school for a school function, it was still legal with permission of the school or property owner.
For background, search INGO for "school function."

Keyword was. Property owner exemption was removed when they changed the law.
Yes, two keyward "was" in that sentence. The exemption was removed because the prohibition was removed.
Which screwed the pooch for some people, like as I mentioned above the INGO member who rents space to a preschool. Or perhaps the OP of this thread if he leased his property to a school for their exclusive use for the day for field trips and such. Or perhaps someone who owns a hall that a school rents for prom or any other reason, or...
