Re: Additional Pro-Gun Measures Introduced in Texas

I did not take the photo, haven't been to the FW Zoo in a few years and the last time I was there they had a sign inside the gate, legal size but I do not believe it is legal since it is on city owned property and after you enter the premises. Moving it outside the gate makes it "less illegal" for them as now it seems to fulfill all the requirements of 30.06 if the letters are 1 inch, but still they are owned by the City of Fort Worth which leaves it in a gray area. From what I have heard, the zoo says they have frequent school activities there and that is why they can post it.

I don't believe this has been settled by case law, and I do not wish to be the test case. I would like this legislation to pass to clear up these issues before anyone has to be the test case.

Re: Additional Pro-Gun Measures Introduced in Texas

The Fort Worth Zoo seems to have upped the ante. From Texas3006.com:
Sign is now located outside of the main entrance, to the west of the ticket booth.

It is these types of blatant violations this law would prevent, or at least they could collect some revenue for it.
