Really? Does that mean that when they are told they cannot stay because the business doesn't allow firearms and the officer leaves that they are only doing so out of the kindness of their heart or to simply take the path of least resistance? On or off duty, in or out of uniform when just getting something to eat?

Texas PC 30.05 (i) This section does not apply if:

(1) the basis on which entry on the property or land or in the building was forbidden is that entry with a handgun or other weapon was forbidden; and

(2) the actor at the time of the offense was a peace officer, including a commissioned peace officer of a recognized state, or a special investigator under Article 2.122, Code of Criminal Procedure, regardless of whether the peace officer or special investigator was engaged in the actual discharge of an official duty while carrying the weapon.

I am not sure where you live but, I can weeks without seeing a 30.06 sign. The major grocery stores around here, have none. (Randell's, Walmart, Krogers, Arlans, and HEB. (HEB has 30.07 signs) The last restaurant I saw with a 30.06 sign was Taco Cabana. It was too small to be enforceable and came down after a public outcry and email campaign (mostly from this forum). That was several years ago. I think you might be confusing the 30.07 sign with the 30.06 sign. I view the 30.07 sign without it's mean brother the 30.06 sign as a dress code. They just don't wanna see your gun. They might have a 'shirts required' sign too because they don't wanna see our ugly hairy chests.

BTW: the signs at the zoos are probably unenforcible.

Zoos signs seem to enforceable per the Texas AG website, and we go to zoos quite a bit.

I searched the website for 30.06, and since we have kids we go to a lot of these places. Just to name a few that we frequent that have 30.06 signs: AMC theaters, Cinemark, Half Priced Books, Ikea, Main Event, Sprouts Market, Whole Foods, Strikz, American Girl, Cheesecake Factory, Toys R Us, Golfsmith, Pinstack, auto dealers, etc. There are more but I tend to get frustrated listing all of them.
