Dear XXX
First, I enjoyed your programs and appreciated the task before you. I am a full-time minister and speak before groups so I know what challenges you had.

There were some things said in class that I thought I understood, I then asked others and other officers after class to make sure...but now discussing them on the forum, many have told me I must have misundertsood so I am writing for clarification.

I ~understood~ the Capt to say that we should not carry past any no gun sign, that we were served effective notice. I asked about even the old Vernon Code is on some buildings, how can you violate a non-existant law? And I remember the answer being because I knew the intent, served effective notice. Too, in asking about a 7-11 that posted a 51%, the answer was don't go past it.

Is it the understanding of the DPS then what I understood... that although a business should post a valid 30.06, if they fail to do so that is their mistake, but we still knew their intent and should not carry past?

Did I also understand the lady from Regulatory Services to say that if we have a Ladies CHL class, and a man wants to attend, we cannot stop him or we will be violating federal law of a protected class (sex bias)? That we might tailor it for women, but cannot prevent a man?

That there is no minimum amount of alcohol for CHL carrier? That if you smell it on me while carrying there could be a problem?

Wanting to make sure, as these are different from both my understanding of the TPC as well as most on the forum. Wanting to make sure I didn't misunderstand the position of the DPS, and others are assuring me I must have!

Thanks again,
Wayne

Had I ~thought~ I had been, obviously I would not have posted these things. Since the question has been raised, and I do not wish to falsely accuse the program, let me write to the Officer who was in charge of the program for clarification. Until then, perhaps lets ride this thing out until I double check. Again, had I thought I misunderstood I would have done so first, but now that the question has been asked if it were possible...and it is a fair question, then let me find out!
