Charles, thanks for setting me straight on verbal warnings.

Propellerhead: My nephew and his wife both work at the same place you do. They're both engineers: Him - electrical; her - mechanical....now that's a household!

Some of those with more legal knowledge may correct me but here is my take on this

Once you are verbally warned by your employer you are violating company policy if caught with a gun, not the law. You can be fired but not arrested. If you receive written warning in a manual or memo from your employer that contains the language required by 30.06 (or 30.06 signs are posted), then you could be arrested in addtion to being fired.

I've been carrying for 4 1/2 years. I've found very few places that I frequent that prohibit carrying. A few places have non-compliant signs which I ignore.

The wording in an employee manual must conform to the 30.06:

"Written communication" means:
(A) a card or other document on which is written language
identical to the following: "Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code
(trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person
licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (concealed
handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed
handgun"; or
(B) a sign posted on the property that:
(i) includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both
English and Spanish;
(ii) appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least
one inch in height; and
(iii) is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to
the public.(d)
