AEA,

Don't lurk just because so many disagreed this time. If we all agreed, no one be posting anything since we would have nothing to discuss or debate.

I would like to see something in the law to stop people from posting where they cannot legally do do (government buildings) but I do not ever expect to see it because, as was pointed out, governments go after us and not themselves.

I also agree with hirundo82 that there should be a change to the law on 51% signs. If they are not properly posted, that should be a defense to carrying in the licensed establishment. I can see leaving the law saying it is illegal to carry where TABC has made the determination, but with the defense that it was not posted. this would allow you to ignore improperly posted 51 signs, while giving the defense if they are not there.

And again, I will point out that there is a penalty for not posting the 51 signs properly IF they are licensed to sell alcohol. TABC can file an administrative case against the permittee for this violation. Of course, they cannot do anything to people who are not licensed and post it (such as Sherman's hospital was reported to do).
