This does reduce the burden on property owners but it also does make it that much easier to just put up the one sign and ban all carry. It creates an incentive to ban all carry, the incentive being the use of less wall space.

I also means that we cannot get the 30.06 sign removed when the business owner intended to only prohibit open carry, but was misinformed about the law.

Why?

Me: If you only want to stop open carry in your establishment, you need to post the 30.07 sign. 30.06 will prevent me from entering, even if my gun is concealed.

Owner: Thanks... I didn't understand the difference in the two signs. I'll make the switch ASAP.

The context of the post was that the law be changed so that the 30.06 would ban both open and concealed carry and the 30.07 sign would only ban open carry. The point of my post was that if the law was changed so that one sign banned both and a business owner posted that sign instead of posting two signs,we could not talk him/her into removing the 30.06 sign and only banning open carry. If they already have the new 30.06 sign that bans both OC and CC, it is unlikely that we will get them to buy a 30.07 sign to replace the 30.06 sign.

Where did you hear this was going to be happening? I missed this was going on.

I searched google news for "Texas gun" and filtered for the past week.

I hope the senate posts a reply. I did not get to see all of it.

Just heard UT Professor Joan Neuberger testify. I need some duct tape to keep my head from exploding.
