Re: State Employee says no 30.06 needed???

She may be talking about if you are an employee of the business. It is my understanding that you can be charged with criminal trespass under 30.05 if you are an employee and you carry against company policy that you have been informed of in writing or verbally (usually by company manual). It is kind of a funny situation though, because I read an attorney general opinion that says you can be charged with criminal trespass under 30.05, but then in the statute itself, it is a defense to prosecution under 30.05 that you are a CHL holder. It was a question on the test when I took my CHL class, and the right answer was that you could be charged with criminal trespass if you had been informed by your employer. It is more likely they would just fire you, but it is possible.

From reading the statues, I am still not convinced that an employer doesn't have to post 30.06 in order to prohbit employees from carrying, despite DPS' interpretation to the contrary.
