If he carries a handgun, openly or concealed outside of his room, with or without signs he would be breaking the law. Those 30.06/30.07 signs are about as applicable to him as those "ALL EMPLOYEES MUST WASH HANDS" signs are to me when I'm eating at Whataburger. I'm just saying he should know this. And if he does decide to carry anyway he should know that he is doing so as a criminal.Liberty wrote:The Verbal notice 30.06 and 30.07 sign does have an effect. Because it would prohibit activities such as Meetings outside his room, Meals, using the lobby and checking in. You are correct that such notice doesn't effect him carrying to and from his room and the gun being in his room.
My messasge was that packing a handgun requires all kinds of discipline. One of those disciplines is not discussing it when there can be only negative outcomes. Don't ask and they won't tell. Some questions are better off not asked.

Re: ihg, holiday inn question
Good advice for most. But all of this is irrelevant to the original poster. Any 30.06 or 30.07 signs, or even any "verbal notice" does not apply to him or his situation since he does not have a LTC. I think what he is getting at and would like to know is basically is a hotel room legally considered your residence while staying there in which you are permitted to have a gun, or can hotels legally make policies to not allow firearms? And to this I'm not sure the answer. But to me this would be a hard policy to have since it would also prevent a traveling deer hunter from taking his rifle up to his room, or dove hunter with his shotgun, etc...Liberty wrote:I don't recall any Holiday Inn posting a 30.07 30.06 sign. I haven't been at them all though and I don't pay all that close attention. Texas law, allows you to keep your firearm at your home. The room is your home at least for the night. If there is a 30.06 sign, I wouldn't carry while checking in, or while hanging around the the common areas, such as lobbies restaurants and breakfast areas.
The thing is , you called and asked. When you called you were given effective verbal notice. So even if there are no signs, It is as if there the signs were posted, even if though they probably aren't.
A good rule of thumb is don't ask. Don't ask if there signs, don't ask if you have permissions, and don't open carry unless you know for sure if they are gun friendly. When asked most retail people will give, what they feel, is the safe answer and say no guns are allowed.
