IANAL and this is not intended to be legal advice.
I stand corrected. I didn't realize that Texas law included the term "brandishing".

To the broader point on giving legal advice, IANAL, but if this sign had incorrectly stated the law, then would that have constituted giving legal advice? For example, would I be giving legal advice if I were to send a letter to a 30.06 posted business owner telling him that he is committing a felony by having that sign? And if I, as a non-lawyer was to do that, would I be breaking any laws? I believe the consensus from previous threads (where signs actually were incorrectly stating the law) is that this is not illegal.

Getting back to the point of this thread, I am just happy that we have yet another business owner who fully supports our 2A rights.
I was quoting the sign and noting that the sign was, IMO, not anti LTC. I think it makes the anti folks have that warm feeling run up their leg, of course if it runs down their leg, we know what that is. :lol:

The sign does not give legal advice, it is a legal sign and is merely and accurately quoting the written law. It has no bearing on the LTC holder unless they choose to "brandish the firearm in a manner to cause an immediate breach of the peace".
