Thanks, I wasn't aware of the exact county line location. And, given that I am not from that area, I think of it as Katy and a suburb of Houston, which makes me think of Harris County.bdickens wrote:Katy Mills mall is actually located in Ft. Bend County.

Re: 30.06 sign on one door, but not another
If you have never been to a plce before, and you go in a door that is not posted (and you cannot see other doors postings from during your approach), then you have not yet received the notice required under the law, even if other doors are properly posted. That would be my best guess as to how the courts would rule on it (and the fact that I talk about you going to court shows my best guess of how the local police will handle it).
Pretend for a minute that this is the first time you had ever been to Katy Mills Mall (and don't frequent this board where we discuss these things). You are carrying under your CHL and stopping at the Bass Pro there. You go in through the Bass Pro doors and see the sign specifically welcoming CHL's. After shopping around, you decide to hit the mall food court for lunch. You go through the Bass Pro mall doors into the mall. You choke on some of the lousy food court food and someone has to give you the Heimlich maneuver (to say how they foudn out about your carrying). Katy Police know that guns are banned there and would probably arrest you. The courts would probably let you go.
That is my opinion and given Harris County's history, I could well be wrong. I could also be wrong about Katy PD, as I am sure they have some good cops on the beat who support guns too.
