It doesn't, however PC §46.02 makes it legal for anyone to keep a firearm in their vehicle, whether they have a CHL or not.

Charles has said many times that it was never the legislature's intent that obtaining a CHL would cause you to lose any other protections of the law.

True, however when I re-read 30.06

... 1) carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, on property of another without effective consent;...

If you keep gun you're car, you are not carrying "under the authority" of CHL, but you still are covered by MPA... And the 30.05 DEFENSE to prosecution still doesn't go away as long as you HAVE a CHL.

I totally agree that any no gun sign posted, 30.06 or otherwise, shows their intent to prevent guns in their business. HOWEVER, the law has specific requirements for the sign or other legal notification. So, while they may have intended to prevent me from carrying, since they failed to meet the legal guidelines I can legally carry there. It's no different from me; I intend to do a lot of things, but fail to properly carry through with a lot of them.
