Steve, do you have reference to additional info on Code Construction Act? Curious how this could be applied to definition of "intoxicated" in Penal Code Chapter 46 as well as other possibilities.

(e) It is an exception to the application of this section that the property on which the license holder carries a handgun is owned or leased by a governmental entity and is not a premises or other place on which the license holder is prohibited from carrying the handgun under Section 46.03 or 46.035.

In REALLY rough terms, it prohibits govt entities (be it city, county or state...unfortunately doesn't apply to federal) from posting 30.06 signs, meaning its legal for us to carry on public property. The exceptions it mentions refer to the prohibitions against carrying in courthouses, etc.

Edit: So for example, the city of Dallas couldn't post a 30.06 sign in a library if the library was the only occupier of the building.

Just to clarify a bit, it's not illegal for a PC 30.06 sign to be posted on government owned/leased property, meaning the government entity is not PROHIBITED (far as I know) from posting such signs, the signs just have no legal effect on someone who is legally carrying under valid CHL (with previously noted exceptions of official government meetings, courtrooms, etc.)

Nitpicky, I realize, but it's always important to remember the EXACT wording/meaning of these laws (best as we can decipher them)
