Businesses that didn't post a discreet gunbuster sign to ban visible guns will read the newspaper article and post large IYF signs that only bans hidden guns. Mark my words, by the time Memorial Day weekend is over, half the restaurants in Texas will have 30.06 signs.

We'll just eat at the other half....or home, eh?

So simple even a Moron can do it.

This is not a knee jerk response to a single situation, it is a carefully crafted campaign that they were waiting for the right impetus to trot out.

Now if the requirements are changed and any little sticker makes it a Class A, CHL will basically be gone in Texas and only good for carrying out of state.

If they do change the sign requirements they should make the violation a Class C misdemeanor with a $10 fine for each violation. That would make it fair once again. Of course I would rather see them keep the current sign and still lower the penalty.

I am pretty sure a "No Shirts, No Shoes" violation does not carry such harsh penalties.

The penalty for regular trespassing is the same if you're armed.
Sec. 30.05. (d) An offense under this section is: (3) a Class A misdemeanor if: (B) the person carries a deadly weapon during the commission of the offense.
Sec. 30.06. (d) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.

Okay, change 30.05(d)(3)(B) as well.

(f) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that:

(1) the basis on which entry on the property or land or in the building was forbidden is that entry with a handgun was forbidden; and

(2) the person was carrying a concealed handgun and a license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, to carry a concealed handgun.

HOUSTON, TX – Ever see the signs – “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service!’? simple enough to get the point across; but in Texas if you want to put up a sign that says “No guns!” it isn’t so simple.

“It has to be exactly this sign. Which is eye catching for all the wrong reasons. It has to have exactly these words, be exactly this size of lettering it has to fit exactly these requirements,” said Alexandra Chasse with Moms Demand Action, owner of the 3 foot by 4 foot sign.
