Return to “conceal carry at church fundraiser?”
It depends on who is doing the notifying. In this case, it sounds like just another church member and not someone in authority.lildave40 wrote:I am far from being a pro. But isnt being notified not to cc isnt that sufficient enough even though there is no signage? It sounds like the guy is making the rules up for the event.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
It sounds like you have as much authority as the person who told you "no guns". So if he has apparent authority to ban you from carrying, then you have apparent authority to give yourself an exemption.dru wrote:srothstein wrote:Unless the church already has a TABC license, which seems unlikely, they will be getting a temporary permit from TABC for the event days only. IN most cases, temporary permits are sent as 51% permits because most charities selling beer make most of their money from the beer. Not all, but most. It will depend on how much beer they expected to be sold when they asked TABC for the license, along with how much of everything else.
Be prepared to not carry based on that. But also, I would think you just received effective notice from the organizer and I would think the courts would say he had the apparent authority to give you that notice. That also sounds to me like a no carry location for you that weekend.
he isn't the organizer. He also isn't the bishop/pastor/deacon/anyone who can make any rule for the church. That's why it seems to me he doesn't have any apparent authority. Interesting to know about the temp license though. Thanks for the heads up on that
If it's a 51% sign, then you can't carry on the premises that are covered by that license.Pawpaw wrote:You'll have to check the liquor license posted at the event. That will be the ONLY determining factor.
If it says "gun sign = red", you can't carry.
If it says "gun sign = blue", you can.
