30.06 is notice for LTC under that portion of the penal code; police officers are covered under a different section of the Texas penal code. I think you're going to have a hard time selling any codified restriction on police officers carrying (on or off duty). If you think LTC and officers should be in the same playing field, your best bet is removing restrictions on LTC, but then again we all saw how far HB560 went.OlBill wrote:I think the sign should apply just like it does to me. It is notice.C-dub wrote:I think that is correct OlBill. There is no sign that would prevent a police officer from carrying into a Sprouts, for example, but if they receive oral notification that they are not allowed to carry their gun into the store even if they are in uniform and not in their official capacity the officer would still have to leave. They can return without their handgun just like the rest of us can, but I'm not sure how many LEOs or us would actually return unarmed.OlBill wrote:My understanding is you can exclude them, police don't have to follow The Sign, is that incorrect? Isn't that what happened to the Conroe police chief?ScottDLS wrote:
What about the classes that the State doesn't let you exclude? Off duty cops, emergency volunteers, special investigators, your employees carrying in your parking lot, etc....
They have to have verbal notice?
What is your rational that off-duty officers should be subject to 30.06?
, let them know the Conroe police cheif was just kicked out of this dr office for the same thing.
