Pipe dreams, I know, but that's what I think every time I see someone "keeping me safe" by prohibiting my carrying.

Re: Inadvertent Entry into 30.06 Area
I could wish the Texas Legislature could add a clause to 30.06 saying that by being refused the right to protect myself and others by entering their establishment without my legally permitted concealed weapon, the poster of the sign was guaranteeing that no one would be harmed by someone who illegally brought in a weapon AND they would be liable for $1million compensation to anyone who was injured by such a person.

Re: Inadvertent Entry into 30.06 Area
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your insight into this somewhat "fuzzy" situation. I haven't heard of anyone being confronted at our Mall about carrying concealed. I have heard of people in the parking lot being accosted by thieves & other crooks. I hate that I have to walk from my truck to the mall & back unarmed, but it is what it is. I guess if someone tries something while I'm between the truck and the door, I'll ask them to wait until I run back to the truck & get my piece 
I know it's "preaching to the choir" but I can't really understand WHY I can carry concealed or openly in the stores with outside doors but when I cross the threshold into the mall itself it I break the law. Guess there are a bunch of misinformed people in the world.

Inadvertent Entry into 30.06 Area
I've had my CHL since Texas first started issuing ('96 I think). I've always tried to be aware of areas posted with 30.06 signs and either avoid those places or leave my piece locked up at home or in my truck.
I've noticed at our local mall, none of the stores that have outside entrances have 30.06 signs. Many of the places where those stores open into the mall itself are posted with 30.06 & 30.07 signs. (I always tell my wife if she gets shot while in the mall she will at least have the piece of mind knowing it was done by someone who was breaking the law) HOWEVER, I have noticed a few places where people can enter the mall without passing a 30.06 or 30.07 sign. Since I KNOW it's signed in several places I never carry there. My quandary is what if someone visiting or new to town came into the mall through one of the unmarked entrances carrying concealed. What kind of repercussions might come to that person? He/she could legitimately say "there was no sign where I entered" even though there are signs at other entrances.
What do y'all think?
