The way I think of it is: What authority am I carrying under?

Example 1: So I have a TX LTC. But I accidently leave it at home when I go to the grocery store. Since I am not carrying my LTC, I am carrying under the authority of Texas's CC law (i.e. - no LTC needed). I then go into a store that is not 30.05 posted, but is 30.06 and 30.07 posted. Because I am not carrying under the authority of my LTC license, neither 30.06 or 30.07 signs affect me at all. Therefore I continue to carry my firearm inside said store.

Example 2: So I have a TX LTC. I have it with me when I go to the grocery store. I walk up to the store and notice that they have both 30.06 and 30.07 signs posted, but no 30.05. I return to my car, place my LTC in the console, and continue into the store as normal since I am no longer carrying under the authority of my LTC. Because I am not carrying under the authority of my LTC license, neither 30.06 or 30.07 signs affect me at all.

Example 3: So I have a TX LTC. I have it on me when I go to the grocery store. I walk up to the store and notice that they have a 30.05 sign, but no 30.06 or 30.07. I continue past the sign and carry in the store because I am carrying under the authority of my LTC and therefore the 30.05 sign has no effect on me.

Example 4: So I have a TX LTC. I have it on me when I go to the grocery store. I walk up to the store and notice that they have 30.05, 30.06, and 30.07 signs. I turn around and go to another store.
