Or better yet they could have him shopping at a liquor store!!!timtheteacher wrote:http://patch.com/texas/round-rock/round ... ew-video-0
The open carry actor is shopping in the wine aisle. Although not illegal they could at least have had him buying slim jims, pickled eggs or lottery tickets at the counter.

And, much like concealed carry, a business has two options for posting the trespass signs. First, the business can post the statutory language. If posting the statutory language, there is not only no size requirement for the sign, there is also no requirement that the sign be in English and Spanish. TBA members can sign in to get the high resolution file for the statutory sign prohibiting openly carried handguns on premises HERE.
However, if posting a plain language sign prohibiting openly carried weapons on the bank’s premises, the sign must be in both English and Spanish, appear in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height, and be displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public. High resolution files for the plain language open carry signs can be found HERE.
I think we may be underestimating the trouble that it takes to properly post both signs. They are big, and in the case of 30.07 must be placed at all entrances, and need to follow the correct wording. Since 1997 I've probably seen 75% business get it wrong w/ just 30.06, and that was the minority that tried. I think we'll see a flurry of half-"baked" attempts come January 1, then a lot of nothing. Unless, of course, tons of self appointed 30.0x enforcers come along with measuring tapes and code books and NO GUNS, NO BUSINESS cards.The Annoyed Man wrote:This has been my prediction. I do believe that eventually it will settle down as people become accustomed to the law. BUT.... I think we WILL see a spate of preemptive 30.07 postings, accompanied by previously non-existent 30.06s as business owners educate themselves and decide to "err on the side of caution".mojo84 wrote:It will be interesting to see if this has kicked the ant pile. We may see more 30.06 signs since this has been brought to the forefront. Hope people will settle down.
