Need some clarification. According to the GOA email notice I received (cut and pasted below), I am confused regarding the statement about prohibited places. According to the wording from GOA it sounds like you can carry in the listed prohibited places unless you are told not to. I'm not convinced this is the case. Can someone elaborate?


The content of CSHB 1927

CSHB 1927 came to the floor as a strong bill and passed with several amendments, mostly strengthening it. Although no bill is ever perfect, we are very happy with the bill language as passed by the House.

Here is what the bill language stated as brought to the House floor:

Anyone age 21 and older who can legally possess a firearm will be able to carry a handgun, open or concealed, without a permit, in virtually all the same places that LTC holders can carry a handgun (except college campuses).
The prohibited places (schools, polling places, courthouses, bars, etc.) will not apply unless you receive personal oral notice that carry is prohibited and fail to depart.
The poorly-worded ban on carry while intoxicated will be repealed, although it will still be a crime to appear in a public place while intoxicated to a degree that you may endanger yourself or another person.
