Wow, a lot happened last night in thsi thread.

I didn't ask the question because I didn't know about 30.06, I simply posed the question because there was talk about 30.06 not being completely obvious in lawyer speak. Though, I have a defense to prosecution if it's ever tested.

Laywer: did you notice the "no guns sign" at the door?
Me: No.
Lawyer: Did you look for the 30.06 sign for the right to carry?
Me: Yes, and I did not see one.

Since for us 30.06 is legal notice as defined by the statute, then we would not automatically see or even notice the other signs, since we do not have to look for them. I mean, unless it was 2" high letters ON the front door, then it would be reasonable to assume that you didn't see it. IANAL but I know one.

Sec. 30.06. TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF LICENSE TO CARRY CONCEALED HANDGUN. (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder:

(1) carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, on property of another without effective consent; and

(2) received notice that:

(A) entry on the property by a license holder with a concealed handgun was forbidden; or

(B) remaining on the property with a concealed handgun was forbidden and failed to depart.

My question: Is "Notice" a Gunbusters sign? Because reading the letter of the law, it would seem like it is.

A lot of confusing information has been brought up in theis thread. If it's "leagl verbal notice" to say no guns in here, and it's not "legal written notice" to have a no guns sign at the door (non 30.06), then is verbal notice held to a higher standard than written?

what I'm trying to get as is the "no guns" (non 30.06) sign legal notice per CHL statutes? I thought I knew the answer, but now I'm confused

No, it is not legal notice in respect to being able to arrest you for criminal trespass. It must meet the 30.06 requirements, be verbal or written notice in 30.06 form that is handed to you (can be smaller in size.)

Oh, Ok. So they can't arrest you, but could still cause trouble if they can tell. Goes back to the "keep it concealed" part right?
