Tinker states the rights guaranteed to us by The Bill of Rights apply to people as young as 8 and onto government owned school property.
It also states that such rights cannot be disruptive to the education process.
Because the 1st Amendment is fully incorporated by the 14th Amendment, this applies to state, county and municipal governments as well as the Federal.
Well, legal eagles, time to sharpen your pencils and stock up on legal pads.
Since the age limits appear to be low and apply to schools, then it should be simple to use their own ruling to show that someone conceal carrying is non-disruptive to the education process and since the rights apply to youngins that someone who's 21+ with that CCW is provably old enough.
We have precedent!
We need to keep repeating that unpopular rights are the most important and needing of protection.
We need to keep demanding that the 14th incorporate the 2nd as it has incorporated all of the other amendments of The Bill of Rights.
IIRC, the 2nd amendment was incorporated under the 14th as part of the Supreme Court decision in McDonald v Chicago. So we already have that, we just need to push it.
