I agree. It's the same as carrying past the 30.06 sign at a gun show in a city or county convention center.RPB wrote:2) Carrying in a 30.06 posted City Owned Parking lot, with a CHL probably means you can ignore that Improperly placed sign
Texas Penal Code 30.06
(e) It is an exception to the application of this section that the property on which the license holder carries a handgun is owned or leased by a governmental entity and is not a premises or other place on which the license holder is prohibited from carrying the handgun under Section 46.03 or 46.035

I agree if the only sign is a 30.06 sign. If they also post one of the signs below, that applies to handguns carried subject to MPA, rifles and shotguns in the vehicle, and other weapons. Someone passing one of these signs is no longer carrying subject to MPA (because they're committing an offense by trespassing) and loses that defense.srothstein wrote:30.06 applies to any property anywhere that is posted, but only when you are carrying under the exception to the law granted by your CHL. So, a private property owner can post a parking lot right at the entrance to it. It would be illegal to walk past the sign. But if you are in your car, you are not breaking the law so you are not carrying under your CHL's authority. So it is not illegal for a CHL to drive into a posted parking lot with a gun. But he has received the notice, so he would be breaking the law if he got out of the car with the gun while anywhere on the property, including in the parking lot.
I agree. Posting the entrance to the property covers the whole property, no matter if it's 30.06 or a no smoking sign.srothstein wrote:In effect, in my opinion, posting the lot pretty much means there is no need to post the building itself if the lot is the only way to enter the property. There would be no way to legally get the gun to the building so no need to post the building itself.
