OK I'm probably nitpicking and paranoid but here's a section from the Texas Penal Code....
I was at the mall today for shoes and saw tons of teenagers wearing some band competition t-shirts and saw a stage at one end of the mall.
So I take it from reading this statute that I am in violation if I go to the mall carrying at the same time as this kind of thing? So I'm randomly in violation ANYWHERE if there happens to be some school activity going on?
Your thoughts....?
