Seems like a silly thing to me, but this is the same legislature who can't strike out churches/amusment parks from prohibited places...they have to go add another subsection saying the previous subsection doesn't count anymore, so....
Actually, it DOES count. It's a technicality, but...
If you eliminated the section for churches (for example) from the law, and then carried into a properly 30.06-posted church, you would be guilty of violating PC 30.06.
However, with the law as written, carrying into a properly posted church would mean you've violated BOTH 30.06 and 46.035(b)(6). So you've now broken TWO laws, not just one.
(i.e., 46.035(i) says that Subsection (b)(6) (and others) still applies if the actor IS given effective notice. -- Removing the silly double negatives.)
