No.

Don't lurk just because so many disagreed this time.

Amen! This is a place of vigorous debate, and serious discussion of what the law is, isn't, and should or shouldn't be. We all have opinions, some more strongly held than others.

Wha'd I say?

Here's a great example, because there's no one on this forum with whom I am more closely aligned (both philosophically and politically) than Steve, and yet we disagree here:

If they are not properly posted, that should be a defense to carrying in the licensed establishment. I can see leaving the law saying it is illegal to carry where TABC has made the determination, but with the defense that it was not posted. this would allow you to ignore improperly posted 51 signs, while giving the defense if they are not there.

My solution would be to eliminate all statutory restrictions on carrying in or on private property, even state-licensed places of public accommodation. If I own a bar, a church, a private high school, a major private university, or just a piddling little daycare that calls itself a "school", then it's my business, not that of the state of Texas, whether or not to allow guns on my property.
