How would the definition of "same footing as LEO's" apply to areas posted with 30.06? LEO's can carry into those areas but CHL's can not. Would this "same footing" invalidate those postings?
I mean in terms of the "Not Applicable" provisions in TPC §46.15(a). This means we could carry in everywhere except in bars or when intoxicated. It has nothing to do with private property that posts a 30.06 sign. LEOs can even enter private property that's posted, but it due to a revision to TPC §30.05(i). My bill will not address criminal trespass.

Chas.

Thanks for the clarification. I do hope we can address some of the issues with TPC 30.06 sometime in the future but that's a battle for another day.
