Re: Quick check - hospital
I'm honestly not referring to a specific law. It was just my general understanding that simple gunbuster or no guns signs had force of law with respect to the carry of long guns. I could certainly be wrong about this. I might have to ask my "lawyer friends" about this one if nobody here has a definitive answer. However, I could see the section you posted being interpreted that way, and that would make an offense a Class A Misdemeanor.

Re: Quick check - hospital
On the whole, I believe you are correct. I have been considering buying a Sub2k for that very reason. However, I would offer one word of caution:NotRPB wrote:I do know two hospitals which have no signs, and one which has an outdated 30.06 sign.
Since I have to go to 30.06 30.07 posted hospitals almost weekly, that's why I got the Kel Tec Sub 2000 folding rifle I conceal carry in hospitals.. It does not violate 30.06 NOR 46.035 and uses the same mags of the handgun I cannot legally carry concealed inside. Yes, anyone could carry a concealed rifle, licensed or not, but the weight is less comfortable or more trouble. So, I can ignore said signs and not have to look for them at such places when they force me to leave my concealed handgun outside and conceal carry my rifle inside instead. Everywhere else I carry my handguns. http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D ... /PE.46.htm
Unless I am mistaken, "gunbuster" or "no firearms" signs do carry force of law with regard to the carry of long guns. So if the 30.06 sign has a gunbuster on it as well, or they take the time to put a "no guns" sign up in addition, you still cannot carry legally.
If I'm mistaken, someone please let me know. I'm not entirely sure which law you would be charged under.

Re: Quick check - hospital
Hospitals in Texas DO have to post 30.06 to prohibit concealed carry. Just look for the signs extra carefully, because getting caught carrying in a posted hospital carries a much greater penalty than on other posted private property.
