Re: Dispelling a myth about "no guns allowed" signs
And by the way azwe, don't you live in Oklahoma? Your laws are totally different there, and you have extra restrictions if you are still carrying on a Texas non-resident LTC.

Re: Dispelling a myth about "no guns allowed" signs
Trespassing (30.05) does not apply to a licensed concealed or open carrier. We have an exemption. So, we ARE immune from trespassing under 30.05 if the only reason they are asking you to leave is because you have a handgun. You can see it here in section 30.05(f)(2) http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D ... /PE.30.htmazwe wrote:I most definitely have busted a myth. People on this forum think "a no guns allowed sign with no 30.06 or 30.07 sign means I'm safe to carry here" which isn't the case. The business owner clearly doesn't want your business. Every business I've been to with a "no guns allowed" sign has been very unfriendly and people on this forum think they're immune from trespassing. These are the same people who walk into businesses with improper 30.06 signs thinking they can walk right in with no problem. This is completely wrong.
30.06 and 30.07 apply to LTC, and there are specific requirements for notification. Unless the sign meets that specification, then it falls back to verbal or written notice in the form of 30.06 or 30.07.
So, sorry, your theory is busted.

Re: Dispelling a myth about "no guns allowed" signs
I think you are misinterpreting what most members on the forum believe and state. The 'no guns' sign is not legal notification, period. If you open or concealed carry past that sign you have broken no law. If asked to leave, because you are carrying, sign or no sign, then you now have been given notice. I believe 99.9% of our members know this.
