Bahahaha



Did I show that I'm not a native Texan there, or what? Lol!

Yea, have no idea what that is, as is isn't around where I live or work, sorry about that! LOL!

Looked it up, and now I feel like a moron...
I figured since so many Texans go to Colorado for vacations, etc, that his instructor was just being prudent to include some Colorado Law...

I'm going to go sit in my corner now :P

I know others have replied already, but I'm going to do my rendition ;)
My Comments in Blue

Budge wrote: Never Carry:
Bars - 51% and consumed

CORRECT, However, it is a defense to prosecution as of September 1st that the 51% Sign was not properly posted.

Federal - post office, etc.

Generally Correct, However, Post offices specifically are 'the greyest of grey areas'
See the following threads for more information:

Schools - events, transportation, bldgs.

Correct, however there is a grey area of misconception about school functions OUTSIDE of School property.
Eg, a field trip to a science museum or something.
Charles Cotton has given his opinion stating that School Functions outside of school property are NOT dis-qualifiers for carry.

Jails
Courts

Mostly correct, unless you work there ;)

Airports

Only if you try to carry through security. On the rest of the property (baggage claim, ticketing, etc) you can carry.
Even if they post 30.06 signs... see below as to why.

Racetracks - Horse and dog
Professional Sporting Events
Anywhere while intoxicated
1000' Near an execution

True with some caveats.
-Intoxicated has 2 definitions. One is the 'legal limit', the other is a broader term of 'not having sound judgment' or similar. So it's open to interpretation.
-1000' near an execution during the ENTIRE day it is scheduled to occur.

Anywhere a 30.06 is posted

Incorrect!
If a 30.06 sign is posted on 'Government owned or leased property' then it has no effect at all.

You Can Decide:
Churches/Temples
Hospitals
Nursing Homes
Amusement Parks
Government Entity Meetings
Privately Owned Banks

Incorrect. These are all 100% allowed carry unless the actor is given effective notice under 30.06.
Or the Hospitals fall under the 'School' provision.
This is also a grey area. Some hospitals will consider themselves 'schools' when they may not be.
Don't expect local LE to disagree with them either. This is a Take the ride, and figure it out in court later situation.

Lower Colorado River Authority

Don't know the laws of Colorado, so I can't comment here

State Parks and Monuments
Local Public Transportation

See above about 30.06 and government property.
However, if the park is an Army Corps of Engineers park/waterway (Most lakes in Texas are, and the George W. Bush Park in Houston is)
Then it is prohibited by US ACoE, Federal Level.

Most Federal Parks

Also depends. We just had a law passed that allows carry in national parks. If it's not US ACoE, and just a National park, you're 100% good to go.
