I don't see anything wrong with carrying in the unsecured portion of an airport. The law is very specific about where in an airport you cannot carry, and I'm not going to lie down and surrender my rights for fear that an uninformed LEO/security guard might not know the law. If some yahoo thinks he's going to arrest me for carrying where I have the legal right to, I'm going to immediately request that his supervisor be present and have some civilly spoken words with him regarding the education of his subordinates.Doug wrote:I know it has to be posted, but to me it would be like carrying in the unsecured portion of an airport. By law it's allowed, but if you just happen to pass by a bomb sniffing dog that locks on to you you're going to have a lot of explaining to do. It's just one of those situations where you have to determine if taking the ride is worth it.
Of course, I live in Harris county with a liberal DA. ymmv
As has been noted, the law was modified so we could legally carry in an amusement park unless given notice per PC 30.06. I'm not going to let the effort our lawmakers and those who worked so hard to change this aspect of the law go to waste because I am afraid that someone who is ignorant of the law may give me a hard time.
As the saying goes, "ignorance of the law is no excuse", and it works in both directions.
