There is no requirement that 30.06 be posted at every entrance (that nuance only applies to 30.07, unfortunately). It simply must be conspicuously posted. If you have seen the sign, then you have been effectively notified.Jose_in_Dallas wrote:
Sorry if I'm going off topic here and please let me know if I should post this elsewhere. I attend a Catholic church in the DFW Area and had a question regarding the posting of the 30.06 and 30.07 signs. The main entrance to the church does not have any signage while one side door has a 30.07 and one of the others (on the opposite side of the church) has a 30.06. Even though I know of the 30.06 sign, I've always gone through the entrance that has the 30.07 sign.
My question is am I violating anything by knowing about the 30.06 sign by entering in the entrance with the 30.07 sign? I have always carried concealed while at church but have always been concerned about brushing against someone and having them "feel" my carrying. It's my understanding that the signs have to be both posted on all entrances for it to be "legal".

Re: TX: Sutherland Springs church 27 dead 30 injured in mass shooting
I've heard the same. The day that the Houston Galveston Diocese makes that decision is the day I stop attending my church. That would break my heart - I am and shall always be Roman Catholic - but my choice of faith should not be a potential death sentence for my family.1911 Raptor wrote:This is horrible. I can tell you this that every Catholic Church in the Fort Worth and Dallas Diocese is posted 30.06 and 30.07. I haven’t seen every one but the ones I have seen are. It is my understanding that this was a directive from the Dallas and Fort Worth Bishops.

Yes, this was a rural area, but there are some things to consider:The horrific mass shooting wounded almost everyone inside the small country church building, which held only about 50 people in the town of only a few hundred people.
- Only a small percentage of Texans have an LTC
- Only a percentage of those actually do carry regularly
- Of those who do carry, there is a subset that actually carries in church
Now, pure speculation here: even if there was a carrier, it is always possible that he or she could have been one of the first people engaged by the shooter, which would result in no armed resistance from that carrier.
