Glad we could help out. I think you did the right thing by dis-arming when you weren't sure if you were allowed to carry or not. Next time you will know your'e in the clear. That "unlicensed" part is what clears you of any problems.

I would say that's a very safe assumption.

I guess I'll have to go buy some more beer tonight to verify.

thanks for the quick replies!

If possible try and snap a picture of it for us.

Did those signs have any texts that said "unlicensed possesion of a firearm" ?

If that's the case then your CHL makes you in " licensed possesion of a firearm " therefore that sign means nothing to you.

Also, it's perfectly legal to carry in a store that sells alcohol for off-site consumption. You could legal carry into a liquor store if you wanted.

But if alcohol is sold for consumption on the premises then you would need to disarm. That is assuming they collect 51% of their sales from alcohol.

Btw, Welcome to the Texas CHL forum! There's an endless amount of information here to answer most question you may have. If you can't find the answer don't hesitate to ask. We will be happy to help.
