To help Frankie, we could add in some clarification that property that is owned by the government but leased to a private individual/organization could not be posted.
I appreciate the sentiment, Steve, but if there was a provision like that in the law it would never pass. There would be too many big business interests lined up against it, like Mark Cuban and his pals running the AA Center for instance.

I'd be afraid that they would re-write the law to place the "right to post 30.06" in the hands of whatever entity is in day-to-day control of the premesis (i.e. the one who has the keys) no matter who may or may not show up in the chain of ownership or who may hold the fee simple deed.

I think our best chances lie with some kind of broad law that says that essentially that CHLs can carry in any public accommodation, no matter who owns it, - basically in any public place where they have a right to be. Something along the lines of Perry's somewhat off the cuff comments in the wake of the VT shooting last April.
