Ok so lets say I go to the mall and its posted 30.07 at the main entrances of the mall but not at a department store which I enter (or I just dont see a sign for some reason). I walk in with the mall with my handgun worn on my hip. I get stopped by a security guard or LEO. Is that a class C ticket on the spot or just asked to leave?casp625 wrote:Incorrect. Class C applies to 30.07 as well unless you are asked to leave and don't.Vol Texan wrote:Not anymore (after 1 Jan 2016, that is)!drjoker wrote:Very nice. Who should I thank for this? Mr. Cotton?

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.
