Re: Open Carry Questions
Just to add, it will still be a class A if you walk past a 30.06 sign on a college campus once campus carry goes into effect.Vol Texan wrote:I stand corrected (and I edited my post above to be correct now).

Who should I thank for this? Mr. Cotton? The NRA?
Man, one of my biggest concerns with concealed carry is accidentally carrying past a 30.06 posted property by not using the entrance where it is posted. THAT's why I'm a NRA life member, man.
Accidentally carrying past a 30.06 is reduced from a Class A to a Class C misdemeanor (effectively the same level as a $200 traffic ticket). After having done so, if they inform you orally and you refuse to leave, then it is a Class A.
This is only for 30.06, however...the penalty for carrying past a 30.07 sign is still a Class A.

Re: Open Carry Questions
I'm not suggesting anyone carry or not carry past an invalid sign. I'm just stating what will be factual on 1-1-16. People will have to make their own decisions on the old 30.06 sign.

Re: Open Carry Questions
On or after 1-1-16, yes. Also since the wording changes on 30.06 all current 30.06 signs would technically be invalid.drjoker wrote:So, can you open carry in a 30.06 place that is NOT 30.07 posted? At least, until you are given verbal notice not to carry?

Re: Open Carry Questions
The requirements for 30.06 has always been that way. You may be confusing the requirements for a sign vs. the requirements for a card handed to you. The sign still has to be in both English and Spanish with one inch letters and contrasting background. The wording is the only change in 30.06 which becomes effective 1-1-16.drjoker wrote:The following quote from the law says that to forbid a concealed handgun they must have a 30.06 sign that can only be in English only and very tiny OR a sign that is in English, Spanish, and is at least 1 inch in lettering height. In other words, are the English/Spanish and 1 inch letter height requirements optional, now?!
Also, there is a separate 30.07 sign that forbid open carry. So, theoretically, you can have a place that bans either only open carry, only concealed carry, bans both OC and CC, or bans nothing? In other words, you see a 30.06 sign, but you can still OC?
Thanks,
a card or other document on which is written
